Interview – EMILY GOODIN – Managing Editor, RealClearPolitics – discussed the latest on Trump’s confirmations and thoughts on Trump’s second week as president:
- On nominations DeVos faces procedural vote Friday. But McConnell sets up queue on next nominations in this order: Sessions, Price, Mnuchin
- McConnell says Senate will meet at 6:30 am et Friday. 2 votes. 2nd vote (closer to 7 am et) is procedural vote on DeVos nomination. DeVos needs 51 yeas on early Friday am vote to break filibuster. She could face trouble w/confirmation as 2 GOP senators oppose her.
- Gorsuch to meet with top Judiciary Cmte Dem Feinstein Monday. Most likely his biggest mtg yet.
