Senate confirms 49 Trump nominees en bloc under S.Res.690

The Senate voted 51-46 on May 18, 2026, to confirm 49 Trump executive nominees in a single en bloc vote under S.Res.690, the largest package of the 119th Congress's second session. Nominees included U.S. Attorneys, U.S. Marshals, ambassadors to Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and the Philippines, and assistant secretaries at Defense, State, Commerce, and Transportation. The package completed a three-vote sequence over eight days: S.Res.690 adopted May 11 by 46-45, cloture May 14 by 51-46, and confirmation May 18 — all party-line with zero Democratic crossovers.
