Democratic senators on the Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday boycotted votes on President Donald Trump's picks for Treasury secretary and secretary of Health and Human Services, opening up a new front in the battle over the president's Cabinet.
Not a single Democratic senator on the committee showed up for the votes on Mnuchin or Price, boycotting due to what they consider unanswered questions in regards to Mnuchin's and Price's business dealings.
The 26-person committee, with 14 Republicans and 12 Democrats, needed at least one Democrat to be in attendance for a vote to proceed.
I hope this isn't unexpected to anyone here.
