Some of the Senate confirmation hearings for President Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees haven’t been entirely cordial.
Democrats have been critical of a number of Trump’s picks and have delayed voting on some, including Tom Price and Steven Mnuchin. Republicans were forced to suspend a committee rule that required a Democrat to be present in order to move the nominations forward.

Jeff Sessions as attorney general, Betsy DeVos as education secretary and Rex Tillerson as secretary of state.
