Two more of President Donald Trump's Cabinet nominees are set to face questioning during confirmation hearings on Tuesday. Rep. Elise Stefanik, nominated for United Nations ambassador, and Mark Collins, nominated for Secretary of Veterans Affairs, will appear before their respective committees. The hearings come as many nominees continue to meet with senators individually prior to their committee appearances.
Two more picks for President Donald Trump's Cabinet will face questions during their confirmation hearings Tuesday morning. Many nominees continue to meet with senators individually before they go before the committees overseeing the agencies that Trump wants them to run. The Republican senator from Florida is among the least controversial of Trump’s nominees and the vote was decisive 99-0.
A New York congresswoman, Elise Stefanik, will have a hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and likely be questioned on her foreign policy experience and strong support for Israel. In 2014, at 30, she became the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, representing upstate New York. She later became the youngest woman to serve in House leadership. The U.N. ambassador represents the United States at the international organization, where there are deep divisions from the wars in the Mideast and Ukraine. The former Georgia congressman, Mark Collins, goes before the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee. Collins is a Baptist minister, former Navy chaplain and Air Force Reserve colonel. The VA provides health care to former members of the armed forces
