James Lankford: “For Barack Obama, 90% of his nominations were by voice vote.”

“… it in committee to say, hey, this person's qualified, they'll do what's called a voice vote. That's very normal. George W. Bush, 90% of his nominations were by voice vote. For Barack Obama, 90% of his nominations were by voice vote. On the Senate, even for the First Trump administration, 67% of his nominations were done by voice vote because everyone said, okay, those are competent people.” (06:30–06:35)
