    Default With Biden’s cabinet delayed, the Senate faces a marathon day of confirmation hearing

    The Senate has a jam-packed schedule of hearings on Tuesday to begin considering President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s nominees for his Cabinet, but the process has been badly delayed, likely making Mr. Biden the first president in decades to take office without his national security team in place on Day 1.


    Hearings for five nominees — Lloyd J. Austin III to be secretary of defense; Antony J. Blinken to be secretary of state; Janet Yellen to be Treasury secretary; Alejandro N. Mayorkas to be secretary of homeland security; and Avril D. Haines to be director of national intelligence — are scheduled for Tuesday. But it will be difficult for them to get floor votes by Wednesday, after Mr. Biden is sworn in at the Capitol.

    Default Senate Democrats announce legislation on ethics, voting and campaign finance reforms

    “From a violent insurrection at the Capitol to the countless attempts to silence the vote of millions of Americans, attacks on our democracy have come in many forms,” Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in a statement. “Senate Democrats are committed to advancing real solutions and fighting to uphold the core tenets of our Constitution. … This legislation will bring about long-needed democracy reforms that will ensure that government is finally able to respond to the pressing needs of the American people.”

    The legislation includes multiple steps aimed at making it easier to vote, including requiring states to have at least 15 consecutive days of early voting for federal elections and requiring that voting sites are near public transportation.
