Military promotion lists are counted separately. Pending counts include every nominee the Senate has received and not confirmed, whether ready for a floor vote or still in committee.

Tell Senate Republicans to fight for results before the clock runs out.
We, the undersigned, call on you to stay in Washington, work every day, and fight to deliver these results before Democrats take over:
- Confirm every one of President Trump's nominees, starting with his judges.
- Pass a filibuster-proof reconciliation bill that rebuilds our military, expands tax relief, and cuts federal spending.
- Pass conservative reforms: the SAVE America Act, a ban on congressional stock trading, energy permitting reform, the defense bill, government funding without an omnibus or earmarks, and laws that make President Trump's border and anti-sanctuary policies permanent.
No more two-and-a-half-day work weeks. No more long weekends.
