The Hill: Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday evening that Democrats want a second hearing for President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Education Department.
The Senate minority leader warned that the fight over Betsy DeVos could gum up the works for getting Trump's other nominees cleared through the Senate.
"We feel very strongly there ought to be another hearing, and this will affect how the rest of the nominees will go forward because we need time on them," he said. "I've never heard anything like this."
