Ross Vote Hopefully Next Week, Thune Says
Commerce secretary nominee Wilbur Ross will hopefully receive a Senate floor vote “in the tranche next week,” Senate Commerce Committee Chairman John Thune, R-S.D., told reporters Tuesday. “We’ll try and do as many as we can, as many as the Democrats will let us do in the amount of time that we have. It’s really up to them. But I would like to see him go next week.” He predicted all of the administration nominees will get confirmed eventually.
