After President-elect Donald Trump takes the oath of office and Congress concludes the inaugural pageantry and the post-inauguration lunch on Monday, the Senate will get back to work.
The first item on the Senate’s Trump nomination agenda appears sure to be the confirmation of one of their own. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., had a relatively easy confirmation hearing at the Foreign Relations Committee last week and is expected to be confirmed as secretary of State on Monday evening.
Other key Trump nominees will have to wait — though the Republican majority is prioritizing national security posts.
