Republican
Sens. Susan Collins (Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) announced Wednesday
that they would not be voting for Betsy DeVos
as education secretary,
potentially imperiling the nominee’s confirmation.
No
Democratic senators are expected to vote for DeVos. If no other Republicans
vote against DeVos, Vice President Mike Pence would be the tie-breaking vote.
DeVos needs a simple majority to be confirmed.
