The Senate Finance Committee voted Wednesday to advance the nominations of President Trump’s designated Treasury and Health and Human Services secretaries, despite an ongoing boycott of the vote by Democrats on the panel. The committee voted 14-0 to confirm Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) as Trump’s Health and Human Services head and Steve Mnuchin as his Treasury chief, sending their nominations to the full Senate for a confirmation vote. No Democrats showed up for the votes for a second consecutive day, as part of a continued effort to derail the confirmation process. But Republican on the panel changed the rules that had required Democrats to be present for quorum.(nydailynews)…[+]
