The sheer quantity of individually troubling nominees might actually make it harder for the Senate to block any of them, given the current political climate.
Democrats will attempt to use the hearings to build a case for the public that some of Trump’s nominees are either unqualified or don’t reflect the views and values of most Americans.
With the Republicans holding a 53-47 majority in the Senate, many of Trump's nominees will likely be confirmed, but several could face challenges.
Each nomination can afford to lose only three GOP votes, which means the hearings could significantly impact those still seeking support from Republican senators.
