Besty DeVos during her hearing.

The U.S. Senate is scheduled to vote on Betsy DeVos's nomination as U.S. Secretary of Education. Democrats have been trying to block her nomination. 

Two Republican Senators have indicated they will not support her nomination. That would result in a 50-50 tie in the Senate and Vice President Mike Pence could then cast the tie-breaking vote.

The vote is scheduled for noon.

Mark Brush was the station's Digital Media Director. He succumbed to a year-long battle with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer, in March 2018. He was 49 years old.
