Craig Caplan @CraigCaplan - Senate began the process tonight of confirming more of President Trump's executive nominations en bloc for the first time this year. The Senate changed its precedent last year to allow for a cloture vote on an executive resolution with multiple nominations to be invoked with a simple majority instead of 60 votes, fast-tracking the nominations towards a confirmation vote.

"I want to thank my constituents and colleagues for their patience as I address a personal medical issue. My doctors continue to assure me that my recovery will be complete and that I will be back to the job I love very soon. I expect to return to a full schedule and be at 100 percent.
I take my responsibilities seriously and have a strong record of showing up
and delivering, which makes this absence all the more difficult. I am
especially proud of my Congressional team, who have kept constituent
services and legislative work moving forward without interruption, and my
political team for ensuring the campaign continues to run strong.
I also want to thank my friends and colleagues on both sides of the aisle for their patience and understanding during this time. I appreciate your support and look forward to being back in the near future."
- Congressman Tom Kean, Jr.
