Trump administration faces most unfilled top posts since Reagan era
Unfilled positions requiring Senate confirmation in the Trump administration have reached their highest level since the Reagan presidency, the Partnership for Public Service says, with the midterm elections a week away.
The number of unfilled top government posts that require Senate confirmation is at its highest level since Ronald Reagan's presidency, according to the Partnership for Public Service, The Washington Post reported.
Trump filled 452 Senate-confirmed positions in his first year back in office, but only 186 nominees had been put forward this year as of Oct. 20. Aides said the delays affect senior posts at agencies handling national security, immigration, economic policy and energy. The Partnership also counts 27 confirmed appointees who have already left, compared with 11 at the same point in Trump's first term.
Some aides blamed the Office of Presidential Personnel, saying the process now favors thorough vetting over speed. White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles defended personnel director Dan Scavino as "one of President Trump's most loyal, trusted, and longest-serving advisers." The vacancies could become harder to fill if Republicans lose control of the Senate in the Nov. 3 midterm elections.
