Senate advances Zeldin toward confirmation

The Senate on Wednesday voted 56-42 to move to a final vote on Lee Zeldin’s nomination to be administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.

Three Democrats — Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), who backed Zeldin in committee, and his fellow Arizonan Ruben Gallego, as well as John Fetterman of Pennsylvania — joined the chamber’s Republicans in voting to end debate and moving to final confirmation.

A final vote is scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m.
