A divided, testy Senate confirms Trump health secretary
None
WASHINGTON—Republicans won Senate confirmation of President Donald Trump's choice for health secretary early Friday in the testy chamber's fourth consecutive brawl over Cabinet picks.
Senators approved Rep. Tom Price to head the Health and Human Services Department by a strictly party-line 52-47 vote in the dead of night. A debate that Democrats prolonged until nearly 2am EST Friday was dotted with bitter accusations, reflecting the raw feelings enveloping Washington early in Trump's presidency.
