Hold confirmation proceedings before Trump’s inauguration

After the 2024 election, Barrasso said the Senate would prepare hearings and votes to put as much of President-elect Trump’s Cabinet in place as possible when he took office on January 20, 2025. He hoped Democrats would cooperate with the confirmation process.

Context: This was a stated plan for the period before the January 20, 2025 inauguration. November 10, 2024 interview about the incoming 2025 administration; not a new 2026 transition plan.

In their own words

he’s going to have as much of the cabinet in place as we can get.
