User's Manual: Why some Trump nominees could be confirmed with a voice vote - and why some could not

The article from MSN discusses the process of confirming President Trump's nominees in the U.S. Senate, focusing on the distinction between voice votes and roll call votes. Voice votes are typically used for non-controversial nominees where there is little to no opposition, allowing for a quick confirmation without the need for a recorded vote. However, nominees who are controversial or face significant opposition from senators, often due to their past actions, statements, or policy positions, are more likely to require a roll call vote. This method records each senator's vote, providing transparency and accountability, especially when the nominee's confirmation is contentious. The article explains that while many of Trump's nominees might pass through with a voice vote due to the Republican majority, those with contentious backgrounds or facing strong Democratic opposition might not be so fortunate, potentially leading to delays or even failure in their confirmation process.
