The Senate Finance Committee and Senate HELP Committee was focused las week on the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to become Secretary of Health and Human Services, with Chair Bill Cassidy (R-LA) still undecided whether he will support Kennedy’s confirmation. A Senate Finance Committee vote is scheduled for Tuesday, February 4 on RFK’s nomination. Following that, a vote would be needed on the Senate floor.

Not yet scheduled are confirmation hearings for DOL Secretary nominee Lori Chavez-DeRemer and Education Secretary nominee Linda McMahon, with Chavez-DeRemer’s hearing likely to be set the week of February 10.
