That’s bizarre as fuck. Did they just leave everyone Trump appointed, or did they can them and leave the spots vacant?

No idea what the usual rate is. What is clear from a quick Google search is that Spicer is lying. It's hard.

As of April 16, 2021, according to tracking by The Washington Post and Partnership for Public Service, 1 nominee has been confirmed, 1 nominee is being considered by the senate, 9 nominees have been announced, and 61 positions currently do not have nominees.[3]

Still by April to have that many openings is nuts

So you just proved the point. That MSM is not covering it with Biden, but did for Trump.

Thanks!

47 years as a Senator + another 8 in the Executive office yet he’s caught completely off guard over something so basic?

That’s the only excuse you could muster? Really?
