- Trump urged The Senate to act quickly, stating, "The Senate should confirm this warrior's appointment as soon as possible" to formalize Cao's permanent role.
- Before this nomination, Cao represented the Navy at Senate Armed Services Committee hearings on the Defense Authorization Request and attended the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library opening in Medora this past July.
