Hoeven co-sponsored S. Res. 457, a resolution designating the week beginning October 19, 2025, as "Coal Week."

Hoeven requested unanimous consent to discharge the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs from further consideration of S. 2283 and to proceed to its immediate consideration, and subsequently requested unanimous consent that the bill be considered read a third time and passed.

Hoeven stated that Democratic leadership is demanding more than $1 trillion in new spending to keep the government open and called for passage of a clean continuing resolution, referencing that 96 percent of Democrats had voted for 13 clean continuing resolutions during the Biden administration.

Hoeven requested that the Senate stand in recess under the previous order, following the remarks of Senator Durbin.

Hoeven submitted a report from the Committee on Appropriations on S. 2256, an original bill making appropriations for Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026.

Hoeven asked for the yeas and nays on the Scott nomination.

Hoeven was listed as a cosponsor of S. 910, a bill to require the Secretary of Agriculture to establish a pilot program for pre-qualification or pre-approval of farmers and ranchers for direct farm ownership loans.

Hoeven moved to proceed to Calendar No. 14, S.J. Res. 12, a resolution providing for congressional disapproval of an Environmental Protection Agency rule relating to waste emissions charges for petroleum and natural gas systems.

Hoeven urged his colleagues to confirm Christopher Wright as Secretary of Energy, citing Wright's more than 30 years of leadership in the energy industry and his pioneering work in hydraulic fracturing technology.

Hoeven urged his colleagues to support the confirmation of Governor Doug Burgum as the 55th Secretary of the Interior.
