In about 20 minutes, the Senate will proceed to up to three votes:

1. Motion by Sen. Merkley to extend debate on Pruitt an additional 248 hours.

If 1 fails:

2. FINAL VOTE on Pruitt.
3. CLOTURE VOTE on Ross.

Zinke passes cloture, 67-31, with 1 senator voting present.

That's it for tonight. The senate will resume consideration of the Zinke nomination tomorrow. I will post the full vote list for both votes that took place tonight once it's on the senate website.
