WASHINGTON — FBI Director-designate Kash Patel advanced Tuesday in a first procedural vote on the Senate floor Tuesday, with Republicans cheering that President Trump’s pick “has the votes” and will be confirmed later this week.
The Senate voted 48-45 along party lines to open debate on the nominee, starting the countdown for 30 hours of discussion before Patel is expected to receive final approval Thursday, sources close to the confirmation process tell The Post.

O boy oh boy !!
I hope he gets in. I think he will. Then we can see who is on that Epstein list.
SUPER....we were all holding our breath...Hope there’s lots of arm twisting before Thursday!!!!
Good news. I saw where 6 Senators were away on trips. Looks like the Senate voted anyways.
After he is confirmed, sooner rather than later, look for some SERIOUS hammers to come down.
My guess is within 24 hours. Probably less.
Trump and Co have a whole lot lined up and ready to go.
IMHO
Where are the missing 7 Senators?
Why Thursday not Wednesday hmm
a bunch are in Israel, from both parties
The time allowed is 30 hours, which effectively pushes the vote to Thursday.

I would bet you are correct. This is exciting.
Kash is going to take care of business.
Dems didn't challenge the vote count. I assume they concluded "Resistance is futile."
That is my question too!!
He will get confirmed..the ONLY one I was worried about was RFK Jr and he got confirmed so Kash will be easy peasy, will be close but he will get in
First thing Kash is gonna do is release the Epstein files, that will make Durbin poo himself
I don’t take anything for granted. Praying till the bitter end.
I think some posters assume that dems will insist on 30 more hours for “debate.” Maybe not, they can if they want to.
Mass criminal and civil charges on the horizon. Seize their homes, assets and bank accounts.
Cry havoc! And let slip the dogs of war.
Pass the popcorn!
Thank you.
