Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin said he will hold a vote in the panel tomorrow on Chuck Hagel’s nomination for defense secretary, as Democrats seek to overcome Republican opposition and complete action on the confirmation as soon as this week.
“It is the chairman’s intention to vote on the nomination after the members have an opportunity for discussion,” Levin, a Michigan Democrat, said today in a statement.
