President Donald Trump is hosting a massive celebration at the White House, inviting over 3,000 political appointees in what is being called one of the largest events ever held on the grounds. For the first time, all department hires are gathering to be recognized for their work during Trump’s second term. The Office of Presidential Personnel has rapidly filled 91% of all political appointments within just 135 days, while Trump’s Cabinet achieved full confirmation without any rejections—setting a record pace in staffing.
This event comes as the administration touts its progress, particularly on economic issues. A new CNN poll shows Republicans holding a 12-point lead over Democrats on the economy, supporting Trump’s narrative of strong economic leadership. Despite ongoing public criticism and political uncertainty, the White House views these developments as confirmation of their policy direction and efficiency in governance.
