Nominated Members

President Donald Trump had nominated Marvin Goodfriend and Nellie Liang to fill the remaining two vacancies. Mr. Goodfriend and Ms. Liang have had hearings but never received a Senate vote.^[9] Liang withdrew herself as a nominee on January 7, 2019, after months passed without the Republican-led Senate granting her a hearing.^[10] Trump then nominated Stephen Moore^[11] and, later, Herman Cain ^[12]. Both Cain and Moore later withdrew their names from consideration.^[13][14]
