Meanwhile, the full Senate is expected to vote today on the nomination of Betsy DeVos for education secretary—another billionaire who has faced accusations of conflicts of interest. DeVos is a longtime backer of charter schools and vouchers for private and religious schools. She and her husband have also invested in a student debt collection agency that does business with the Education Department. DeVos’s confirmation is in doubt, after two Republican senators said they’d vote against her. If one more Republican switches, she will not be confirmed. So far, only five of Trump’s Cabinet nominations have been sworn in. Another 15 are awaiting confirmation.
