Senators on Wednesday signaled their ongoing support for Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin, who has faced a few scandals over the past few weeks that many thought put him in danger of being fired by President Trump.

“I think I speak for many in this committee to hope that a year from now, we see Secretary Shulkin sitting in that chair,” Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, said at a Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee hearing with Shulkin on the VA’s 2019 budget request.
