Senate Confirms Trump’s ‘Energy Dominance’ Champion Doug Burgum For Interior

2025-02-01

[DailyWire] The final vote was 79-18, with many Democrat members joining with their Republican colleagues in supporting Governor Doug Burgum’s (North Dakota) nomination to the Cabinet role in Trump’s second term. Another three senators did not vote.

Burgum ran for the Republican presidential nomination in the 2024 race, but dropped out and endorsed Trump. He was reportedly a finalist to become Trump’s running mate before now-Vice President JD Vance got the nod.

Burgum advanced out of committee by an 18-2 vote. His final confirmation vote was very bipartisan, but it fell short of the unanimous show of support that Secretary of State Marco Rubio

received.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, and EPA head Lee Zeldin have also been confirmed.

Other nominees are still working their way through the Senate. Democrats

Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away.

have sought to impede the confirmation process, such as forcing procedural votes, an effort that has earned stern rebukes from the GOP.

Among the next Cabinet picks poised to get a confirmation vote is Christopher Wright, Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Energy. Wright was also chosen to serve as a member of the National Energy Council.

#1 Seems like Burgam and Zeldin went too easy. I would like to see Keystone approved on the double. If all the Biden clowns are still on the payroll who were monument creating and homeowner harassers in a month, Trump has made a mistake.
