Senate Republicans on Wednesday passed the first procedural hurdle to advance a package of 97 Trump nominees, setting up final confirmation votes expected next week; the slate includes Anthony D'Esposito for Labor Department inspector general and NLRB picks James Murphy and Scott Mayer. The group was repackaged after Sen. Michael Bennet objected last week to an earlier bundle that erroneously included a Cabinet-level (Level 1) nominee, and if confirmed these votes would push GOP approvals of Trump’s second-term nominees to more than 400 in the first year.
