Senate delays vote to confirm Biden's DHS pick amid snowstorm
An East Coast snowstorm is scrambling the start of the Senate's week.
A final vote to confirm Alejandro Mayorkas, President Biden's pick to lead the Department of Homeland Security, is being pushed from Monday at 5:30 p.m. to Tuesday due to inclement weather, a leadership aide confirmed.
The East Coast is currently getting walloped by a snowstorm, with snow potentially lingering until Tuesday.

The Senate held an initial vote for Mayorkas on Thursday, where he defeated a GOP filibuster. But the Senate struck a deal to hold his final confirmation vote on Monday, allowing senators to travel back to their home states for the weekend.
