    The GOP needs every single person on their side to pass the nominations… Which rarely happen.

    Why aren’t the dems working whatever GOPers they can to say no? Or is that something only the GOP is allowed to do? Get Dems to defect?

      False, Hegseth is the closest to losing confirmation when 3 GOP voted no, but VP tiebreaker confirmed him anyways.

      Hegseth, Vought, Gabbard, Kennedy, and Lutnick all recieved 0 dem votes and passed.

      Only 3 Republicans have voted against any confirmation, and Mitch McConnell is the only republican to vote against more than one: he voted against 3.
