Senate committee defers confirmation votes; no opposition testimony recorded
Summary
The committee deferred final confirmation votes to a follow-up session at 12:30 p.m. Thursday to allow senators to follow up with nominees and accept written answers; the hearing recorded multiple support testimonies and no registered opposition.
At the close of the hearing the chair announced the committee would defer decision-making to Thursday at 12:30 p.m. to give senators time to follow up individually with nominees and to allow nominees to submit written answers to outstanding questions. The chair read into the record multiple supporting written testimonies from agencies and departments; the transcript recorded no in‑chamber opposition testimony during this session.
Committee staff said questions will be sent in writing to nominees who were not able to fully answer during the hearing; the chair asked that those replies be returned before the follow‑up session so the committee can conclude confirmation votes. The deferral was announced expressly to allow time for technical follow-up and written responses.
