The Senate on Tuesday confirmed more than 100 Trump administration nominees 51-47 along party lines, including numerous energy and environment candidates.
Republican leaders moved the second package of nominees under new Senate rules. It got no Democratic support despite some previous bipartisan backing for certain picks.
The package includes Laura Swett and David LaCerte to serve on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and Neil Jacobs to lead NOAA.
