“President-elect Joe Biden is calling for swift confirmation of his top Cabinet choices once he’s sworn in next year – and a new study suggests he shouldn’t worry,” CBS News reports.
“The last four presidents announced a combined 56 Cabinet nominees during their transitions, most of them in December, and each president saw almost all those picks take office… In the last 28 years, the Senate has confirmed 95% of a president’s cabinet secretary nominations.”
