The Senate moved Wednesday to get President Trump’s nominee for labor secretary, Alexander Acosta, confirmed by the end of the week.
The Senate voted 61-39 to invoke cloture on the nomination, assuring a full Senate vote on Acosta within 30 hours. Nine Democrats voted with all of the Republicans, indicating that Acosta will have an easy time getting confirmation.
