I can't find a link but I read it somewhere last week.
If DeVos got through, one would assume Sessions will, even if he has to vote for himself.
Sessions at least has experience. DeVos, Perry, Linda McMahon..
I do not like Sessions. He looks corrupt.

But I don't think that is enough for Republicans to flip.

Have there been previous Senators nominated for Government positions who have voted for themselves? Anyone know?
