President elect Joe Biden on Friday called on the Senate to start the process to confirm his top Cabinet nominees immediately, saying there should be no vacancies during the coronavirus pandemic and economic crisis.
Biden is in danger of not having a single Cabinet official confirmed on Inauguration Day. Traditionally the Senate - which is sworn into office a few weeks ahead of a president - starts the confirmation process so there is at least part of a national security team in place when the president takes office.
'We've done our job. We've begun the job of naming these people and it's my expectation and hope that the Senate will now move to confirm these nominees promptly and fairly. As is especially the case for the nominees of secretary of state, defense, treasury, and homeland security,' he said. 'They should be confirmed as close to January 20th as possible.'

You mean like the Dems did for Trumps there senile Joe? The Dems slow rolled every nominee and used the maximum time allowed for each confirmation. Now we are supposed to fast track everything because this a-hole says so. Have no doubt though that the spineless Repub senators will do just that.
Lie down in the mud lick the muck off of Kamala's boots and demand that they pull harder on the chain.
It is all amazing to watch!
Fear?
The Republican Senate should not confirm any of Biden’s nominees
_____________________________________________________________
It will only be a Republican Senate for 11 more days. Schmuckey Schumer will be majority leader after Kommielah is sworn on as VP.
Back then, it was so the GOP could laugh at the Secretary of the Treasury, who hadn't paid his back income taxes!
Does Biden think he is already President?
