Following his vote, the Senate will decide on Brooke Rollins' nomination for secretary of Agriculture. Later in the afternoon, at 1:45 p.m., senators will vote on whether to advance Howard Lutnick’s nomination for secretary of Commerce and Kelly Loeffler’s nomination to lead the Small Business Administration.
