CFTC will continue with only Commissioner Kristin Johnson and Chair Brian Quintenz until new nominees are confirmed

Quotes that support claims

With Goldsmith Romero, Pham, and Mersinger stepping down, Democratic Commissioner Kristin Johnson will be the only remaining member alongside Quintenz once he is confirmed. Trump will then need to nominate additional commissioners to fill the vacancies.
Goldsmith Romero's departure on May 31 will leave the CFTC with just two commissioners, and that number will likely remain static after Quintenz's confirmation until Trump nominates up to three more commissioners (two Republicans and a Democrat) to fill the empty seats.
