SO...does the Sessions confirmation screw the pooch for DeVos?

[Miles Archer]

Republican Sens. Susan Collins (Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) announced Wednesday that they would not be voting for Betsy DeVos as education secretary, potentially imperiling the nominee’s confirmation.

No Democratic senators are expected to vote for DeVos. If no other Republicans vote against DeVos, Vice President Mike Pence would be the tie-breaking vote. DeVos needs a simple majority to be confirmed.

If Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) is confirmed as attorney general before DeVos comes before a full Senate vote, it could further complicate her chances for confirmation. In that scenario, Sessions would not be eligible to vote.

When speaking on the Senate floor, Collins said that while she thinks DeVos is a good person, she questioned her commitment to traditional public schools ― which a majority of children in the country attend. Murkowski said she has been inundated with calls from constituents who questioned the nominee’s lack of experience working with public schools.

2. They'll reject her to show they aren't completely ignoring what's going on

each and ever one of those cabinet picks are horrible but the one they'll go against is the one that can probably do the least damage. Oh and she's a woman Trump has already appointed already has one of those, am I right?
