Secretary of State designate Rex Tillerson took another step toward confirmation when the Senate voted to end debate on his nomination Monday evening.

Tillerson cleared the procedural hurdle in a 56-43 vote. Democratic opposition to his confirmation was invigorated by anger over President Trump’s executive order suspending most travel from seven Muslim-majority countries, but four members of the Senate Democratic caucus — West Virginia’s Joe Manchin, Mark Warner of Virginia, North Dakota’s Heidi Heitkamp and Maine’s Angus King (a registered independent) voted with Republicans. Heitkamp and Manchin are up for re-election in 2018, in states that President Trump carried in 2016.
