President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to send 20 new nominees to the Senate for a variety of positions in the government, including the Ambassador to Turkey and Portugal, as well as senior officials at various agencies. The list includes individuals from both parties, although it remains unclear how many will actually be confirmed by the Senate before their terms expire. Some of the more notable nominees include those for the Department of Energy, Homeland Security, Transportation, and Veterans Affairs. The order also nominates individuals to serve in a variety of administrative roles within the government.
