The Senate voted Wednesday evening to close debate on Doug Burgum to lead the Interior Department.
The former North Dakota governor is likely to be confirmed easily after the 78-20 cloture vote, with 25 Democrats voting in favor.
Senators earlier Wednesday confirmed Lee Zeldin for EPA administrator. Only a handful of Democrats supported the former New York lawmaker.
After confirming Burgum, the Senate will likely turn to Department of Energy nominee Chris Wright. Like Burgum, Wright received bipartisan support on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
