Senate Finance Committee Advances President’s Health Secretary Nominee
Earlier this week members of the Senate Finance Committee approved the advance of Alex Azar’s nomination to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). According to reports, members of the committee voted “largely along party lines,” with 15 Republicans voting in favor of President Trump’s nomination and 12 Democrats voting against it. Now that the nomination is being advanced, the next step will be for Azar’s nomination to “head to a what appears to be an easy confirmation vote on the floor before the full Senate.”
