List of political appointments by Joe Biden

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Following his election victory in 2020, U.S. president Joe Biden had 4,000 political appointments to make to the federal government. Of those 4,000 political appointments, more than 1250 require Senate confirmation. Upon taking office, Biden quickly placed more than 1,000 high-level officials into roles that did not require confirmation.[1] As of April 18, 2024, according to tracking by The Washington Post and Partnership for Public Service covering 810 positions, 620 nominees have been confirmed by the United States Senate, 18 are being considered by the Senate, and 89 tracked positions have no nominee.[2]
