Watch live: Scott Kupor, Trump’s pick to lead OPM, faces Senate confirmation hearing

Scott Kupor, President Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), will testify Thursday morning before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

Kupor, a managing director at a venture capital firm, was tapped for the role in December.

His confirmation hearing comes as the Trump administration faces mounting criticism over mass layoffs across the federal workforce — by way of the OPM and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — and legal battles over frozen funds.

“Thank you @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to serve our country in helping @elonmusk, @VivekGRamaswamy and the entire DOGE team make efficiency a central tenet of the federal government,” Kupor posted on social platform X shortly after the nomination announcement

The event is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. EDT.
