The Senate has confirmed more nominees in the first year of the Biden administration than it did for the same period in the Trump administration, according to a report from the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service’s Center for Presidential Transition.

However, the number of confirmations lagged those for both the Obama and Bush administrations, the report said.
