Washington (Nexstar) – The senators confirmed about half of his cabinet picks with more movement on Tuesday just over two weeks after the second term of President Donald Trump.
With a 77-23 vote, the Senate confirmed the former Georgia Rep. Doug Collins to head the department for veteran affairs.
According to John Thune (Rs.d.), the Attorney General Pam Bondi could be the next majority of the Senate majority.
“Pam Bondi has promised to bring the department back to its core mission: crimes and the protection of the Americans,” said Thun.
Despite the democratic opposition, RFK Jr. moves to head the department for health and human services.
“He is unique,” said Senator Ron Wyden (D-ORE.).
Kennedy got out of the committee on Tuesday without votes from Democrats.
“The vote was 14-13,” said Senator Mike Crapo (R-IDAHO).
The Republican Senator of Idaho, Mike Crapo, says Kennedy will bring the necessary changes to the health care of the Americans.
“He spent his career ending the epidemic of chronic illness in America,” said Crapo.
Democrats like Oregon Senator Ron Wyden say that his views on vaccines are risky.
“These conspiracy theories as Chief Health Officer of the nation will be fatal,” said Wyden.
Director of the National Intelligence Pick Tulsi Gabbard also received the green in the committee. Both you and Kennedy next to the full Senate.
Other candidates who are expected will be the nominees for educational secretary and the former WWE CEO Linda McMahon.
The Democratic Senator of Maryland, Chris van Hollen, said he doesn’t think she is qualified.
“I try to find out what your background was in education and you have to search far and wide, and even after you have done it, you won’t find anything,” said Van Hollen.
The Senate has not yet planned a hearing for McMahon.
The candidates can afford to lose only three Republicans to be confirmed.
