All of this could change immediately based on the Georgia runoff results.
Sure, but with the nuclear option they only need 51 votes. Traditionally these confirmations would be nearly automatic via a voice vote.
However if you look at Trump's timeline the Senate didn't get around to voting on HUD or Energy until 3/2. Interior on 3/1. Not sure if that was due to Trump incompetence or Russia drama interfering.
I don't see that there is a Senate 2021 calendar yet.
