On Tuesday afternoon, two of President Trump's cabinet nominees are facing confirmation hearings in the Senate, marking the first such hearings of the new Republican administration. Former Rep. Doug Collins, nominated for the position of Secretary of Veterans Affairs, and Rep. Elise Stefanik, nominated to be the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, are set to appear before Senate committees.
Collins, who serves as an Air Force Reserve chaplain, will testify before the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee. Meanwhile, Stefanik will face questioning from members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Both hearings are scheduled to begin around 10 am EST.
