Devos overcomes Democratic opposition

Devos was a megadonor and two Republicans came out against her nomination last week. That left the Senate deadlocked. Mike Pence was forced to cast a rare tie-breaking vote.

Democrats ran a 24-hour filibuster to stop her because of her stance on privatizing school services.

Next on the list for nominations are Jeff Sessions and attorney general, Tom Price for Health and Human Services and Steve Mnuhcin for Treasury Secretary. They will be handled on at a time.

They should all be confirmed by Saturday or next Monday at the latest.
