[Macho MAGA Man]

What a great day it's been so far. Tulsi confirmed and RFK Jr. about to.

[mykroar]

So

much

winning

[rktman]

No? Bet on post turtle to side with democriminals.

[Sarah Barracuda]

So what happens now, when is the official vote, tonight?

[bray]

When is the vote?

[Owen]

I think that was cloture, so 30 hours clock starts.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Never dreamed I’d ever cheer for a Kennedy.

[Republican Wildcat]

Cloture vote passed on a straight party line vote 53-47.

This limits debate to 30 hours on the nomination. Then a final vote will occur.

[Wuli]

They voted to end debate on RFK’s nomination.

Vote on the nomination itself is next step, this week.

If he makes it Trump’s most important nominations will be through in under 30 days.

[hardspunned]

In a couple of years, there might come days with no fantastic news from DC! Withdrawal will be hard from this hourly addiction I’ve developed over the past month or so.

[struggle]

Yup, probably Thurs night or Fri morning

[Pollard]

The Senate advanced Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination to lead the Department of Health and Human Services in the final procedural hurdle before the confirmation vote.

The vote was largely on party lines, with 53 senators voting to advance his nomination and 47 senators voting against.

UPDATE!

Final Confirmation Vote to be Held Thursday

[Sarah Barracuda]

After RFK Jr I want Kash confirmed IMMEDIATELY

[Macho MAGA Man]

It’ll be sometime tomorrow.

[Pollard]

You would think that at least ONE democrat might support RFK given that he's a liberal who agrees with them on about 80-90% of general issues.

But I guess they're all super-butthurt that he left the party, which I'm sure in their minds is probably the most unforgiveable crime in the world.

[Pollard]

Seems I saw an X post from a congress critter saying the 30 hour clock started this morning.

[Pollard]

I guess they're all super-butthurt that he left the party

They basically kicked him out. They are the ones who fought to keep him off the ballots in many states. They're the ones that didn't have a primary.

[ClearCase_guy]

Once Gabbard, Patel and Kennedy are in place, everything is going to accelerate. Which will be fun since the Democrats can’t handle the current speed.
