Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel testify before Senate committees on Capitol Hill on Thursday as urgency builds to confirm President Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominations.

Doug Collins, chosen by President Trump to lead the Veterans Affairs Department, does not have a traditional résumé for V.A. secretary, but he fits the mold of a Trump loyalist.

The Senate has confirmed five members of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet since he assumed office on Jan. 20, with five more ready for floor action in the coming days. The pace is faster than in 2017, the first time Trump had Republican control of Washington. By this point in his first term, only two were confirmed.

As Donald Trump returns to the White House on January 20, Republicans will have a majority in the Senate. This means that his Cabinet nominees will likely face an easier path to confirmation, even for those who may have surrounded themselves with controversies.

So far, three people have been confirmed to Trump’s Cabinet: former Sen. Marco Rubio as the secretary of state, John Ratcliffe as the director of the Central Intelligence Agency and Pete Hegseth as secretary of Defense.

Here are some of the actions Trump’s nominees could take on abortion, if confirmed, from HHS to the Justice Department.

A Princeton and Harvard-educated former combat veteran, Hegseth went on to make a career at Fox News, where he hosted a weekend show. Trump tapped him as the defense secretary to lead an organization with nearly 2.1 million service members, about 780,000 civilians and a budget of $850 billion.

One of Trump’s picks is currently an evangelical pastor: Southern Baptist Scott Turner, an associate pastor at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas, was tapped to be Trump’s secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
