The US Senate just advanced President Trump’s nomination of RFK Jr. to be the next Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Chad Pergram says the floor vote will happen tomorrow night:

I’ll post more details about the vote as soon as I get them…
UPDATE: The vote was along party lines…
By a vote of 53 to 47, the #Senate invoked cloture on the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to be Secretary of Health and Human Services. Party line.
