Approaching 300 days since the inauguration, President Donald Trump’s pace for staffing key government positions continues to lag behind those of previous administrations.
While the Trump administration has upped its pace of nominations over the last 100 days, hundreds of key positions remain without permanent employees, including the deputy administrator of FEMA, the deputy secretary of the Commerce Department and the undersecretary for nuclear security at the Energy Department.
The Partnership for Public Service and the Washington Post have maintained an appointments tracker, keeping count of the Trump administration’s status in filling the 600-plus positions subject to Senate confirmation.
