What happens to presidential nominees once they reach the Senate: who gets a hearing, who reaches the floor, who is confirmed, and how long it takes, administration by administration.
Hearing and Confirmed are shares of nominees. Median days and Over a year count confirmed nominees from their first nomination. Roll-call vote is the share of confirmations that needed a recorded vote rather than a voice vote or consent. Trump's second term is still in progress.
Each bar starts the day the person was first nominated and runs to the final action, or to today for anyone still waiting. Dots mark committee hearings; dark ticks mark the day the nomination left committee; gray ticks mark a renomination.
Every nomination behind these charts, one row each: received, hearing, committee vote, floor and final dates, vote tallies, department, agency group, seniority level, Cabinet flags, and a link to the official Congress.gov record. Ready for a spreadsheet, SQL or an AI tool.
