Published | Video Starts at 02:27

Until this year, 90% or more of president nominees were confirmed by voice voter unanimous consent from the days of George Washington all the way through the presidency of Barack Obama. During President Trump's first term, Democrats cut it down to 65%. Now during the second term, it is zero. Absolutely zero of President Trump's nominees have been confirmed by unanimous consent or voice vote. Not a single nominee has been confirmed that way since President Trump took office almost eight months ago. (02:27–02:31)
