Senate Advances Trump's Nominees Lee Zeldin for EPA, Chris Wright for Energy, Doug Burgum for Interior
Jan 23, 2025, 03:43 PM
Senate committees have advanced three of President Donald Trump's nominees for key environmental and energy positions. Lee Zeldin, nominated to lead the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), was approved by the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee with an 11-8 vote. Chris Wright, Trump's pick for Energy Secretary, received a 15-5 approval from the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Doug Burgum, nominated for Interior Secretary, also advanced to a full Senate vote. These nominations reflect Trump's strategy for 'energy dominance' and are expected to be confirmed by the full Senate. Zeldin's nomination is seen as a move to shift the EPA away from what some senators describe as 'radical environmentalism' towards a more business-friendly approach.
