DeVos final vote is on Monday. Senate might need to confirm Senator Sessions last in case they need him to cast a deciding vote for any other cabinet member

Today the senate voted to proceed with the final vote on Betsy DeVos for Sec of Education. Because 2 GOP senators: Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins stated that they will vote NO, the senate will need Senator Sessions’s vote and Vice President Pence’s vote to get to 51. DeVos is expected to be confirmed by the full senate on Monday. While we need Senator Sessions as AG, he might need to be confirmed as the last cabinet member in case a couple of GOP senators pull the same stunt with another nominee as Murkowski and Collins did with fellow female politician, Sec of Education nominee, Betsy DeVos. As of now, no other GOP senator stated that he will oppose any remaining cabinet members, so all of them are expected to be confirmed within a few days. Please, call Senate majority leader, McConnell, urge him to schedule the final votes for all remaining cabinet members ASAP.
