The Trump administration is appointing Senate-confirmed positions, including those critical to national security, at a historically slow pace, according to experts tracking the effort to staff up the government.
Terry Sullivan, executive director of the nonpartisan White House Transition Project, characterized the progress as “slow — in every dimension.”
His organization, which also coordinates with government agencies and independent groups such as the Partnership for Public Service and the National Academy of Public Administration, has tracked presidential appointments made by each administration since Bill Clinton’s.
