Part 2/5:
In the wake of King’s resignation, Leland Dudek has been appointed as the new acting commissioner. Dudek is known to support the DoE’s initiatives aimed at uncovering inefficiencies within government agencies, marking a shift towards a more aggressive stance on fraud prevention and budget management.
Trump's Nominee and Future Confirmation
Dudek’s role as acting commissioner is expected to be temporary, as he will serve until the Senate confirms President Trump’s nominee, Frank Bisano. This swift confirmation process is anticipated by the White House, where officials emphasize the commitment to appointing the best and most qualified candidates to lead the SSA.
