White House Anticipating Ross to Be Sworn In as Commerce Secretary Tuesday, Spicer Says

If Wilbur Ross is confirmed by the Senate as commerce secretary Monday night as expected, “we expect to have his swearing in tomorrow here at the White House,” Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters Monday. Senators debated Ross’ nomination on the chamber floor ahead of the 7 p.m. confirmation vote. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., outlined opposition at length, questioning his business practices and ties to Russia. Several Senate Democrats had voted earlier in February to advance Ross’ nomination, including leading Democrats on the Commerce Committee.
