There are several major updates on Capitol Hill Tuesday regarding President Trump's Cabinet nominations. Here is a roundup from the Senate:

CONFIRMED

Elaine Chao is now confirmed as Transportation secretary. 

The former Labor Secretary was confirmed to take over the U.S. Transportation Department by the U.S. Senate in a 93-6 vote. Dissenting votes including Cory Booker, D-New Jersey; Jeff Merkley, D-Oregon; Charles Schumer, D-New York; Kirstin Gillibrand, D-New York; Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont; Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell abstained from the vote. Chao is his wife. 

Chao was sworn in by Vice President Mike Pence Tuesday afternoon.

BLOCKED

Democrats in the Senate Finance Committee boycotted the meetings Tuesday for Rep. Tom Price, Health and Human Services secretary nominee, and Steve Mnuchin, Treasury secretary, effectively blocking their nominations for now.

Democrats said they would not move forward until they have more information about the two nominees. The Democrats cited several newspaper reports accusing Price of insider trading in health company stock, along with Mnuchin's behavior involving foreclosures when he was a banker with OneWest.

The Democrats say Congress has been misled about the candidates' backgrounds. 

The meeting cannot move forward because 13 members, including at least one Democrat, has to be present for the votes.

Among the Democrats who took part in the boycott was Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida. Nelson's office confirmed his participation in the boycott.

Nelson spoke out about the boycott on the Senate floor while speaking about his decision to vote for Elaine Chao.

"There was new information that came overnight in the publication of the Wall Street Journal of additional information about the nominee for the department of HHS, which needs to be cleared up before the committee proceeds," Nelson said.

APPROVED

A Senate Committee approved Betsy DeVos' nomination as Education secretary on a party-line 12-11 vote.

Two Republican senators on the committee voted for DeVos anyway even though they have some reservations and said they may not vote for her confirmation in the full Senate.

DeVos had only one hearing in the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, and by most accounts she did a poor job answering many questions and did not seem to have a good grasp of education policy or what the department does. 

DeVos is now also under fire for claims she lifted direct quotes from a former Obama administration official for her written answers to questions submitted by the Senate committee. 

A Senate committee approved Montana Rep. Ryan Zinke for Interior secretary and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry for Energy secretary.

Both nominees met with little resistance Tuesday in the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.

The Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee also approved WWE co-founder Linda McMahon to head the Small Business Administration in an 18-1 vote.

All four nominees will now go before the full Senate for confirmation.

DELAYED

The Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to vote Wednesday on whether Attorney General nominee Jeff Sessions should move to the Senate floor for confirmation.

Democrats used an obscure Senate rule Tuesday to delay the vote. They gave several long speeches opposing sessions for several hours, triggering a rule that doesn't allow committees to be in session for two hours past the state of the Senate day. 

Sessions is expected to be approved by the panel eventually.

The committee vote for Labor Secretary nominee Andrew Pudzer has also been postponed.

A spokesperson for the panel said the CEO of Hardee's and Carl's Jr. has not filed financial and other statements to the panel. The vote was supposed to happen on Feb. 7. No word on when that hearing will happen.
