Who Is In Donald Trump’s Cabinet? Ben Carson, Nikki Haley, Elaine Chao And Wilbur Ross Up For Senate Vote, But Democrats Want A Fight

President Donald Trump is slowly filling out his cabinet despite Democrats' best efforts to stall his newly formed administration from moving forward. So far only a handful of his nominees have made it through the Senate confirmation process, but more votes could be held this week.

The Senate Banking Committee approved Tuesday the nomination of Dr. Ben Carson to oversee the Department of Housing and Urban Development, while South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's nomination for U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations got the green light from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Both nominations are headed to the U.S. Senate for a vote. Transportation Secretary pick Elaine Chao and Commerce Secretary-in-waiting Wilbur Ross are also up for a full vote from the Senate.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday Democrats would continue to put up a fight.

"Some people say Carson is not controversial," Schumer told reporters, but "he's controversial to me."

The Senate has voted and confirmed only two of Trump's picks so far: retired Marine Gen. James Mattis to run the Department of Defense and retired Marine Gen. John Kelly for Homeland Security.

"I am pleased by the confirmation votes of Generals Mattis and Kelly. These uniquely qualified leaders will immediately begin the important work of rebuilding our military, defending our nation and securing our borders. I am proud to have these two American heroes join my administration," Trump said in a White House statement. "I call on members of the Senate to fulfill their constitutional obligation and swiftly confirm the remainder of my highly qualified cabinet nominees, so that we can get to work on behalf of the American people without further delay."

The Senate also confirmed CIA Director Mike Pompeo Monday night after Democratic lawmakers delayed last week the vote, and while the high-level position isn't actually part of the presidential cabinet, it's still another win for Trump.
