Administration and Congressional Leadership Tracker
President Donald Trump began announcing his Cabinet and senior staff nominees in January. With a Republican Senate majority (53-47), most nominees are expected to be confirmed, though some may face challenges.
Republicans, holding majorities in both the House and Senate, are selecting their party leaders. House leadership remains largely unchanged, but the Senate will see new leaders. Special elections will be held in 2025 to fill these seats.
Below are Trump's Cabinet and administration nominees, along with the 119th Congress leadership. Confirmed names are in bold. This list will be updated weekly.
