Members of the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee voted favorably Monday for President Donald Trump's nominee, Brooke Rollins, to head up the Department of Agriculture (USDA), a widely expected outcome that clears her for a vote in the full Senate later this week.
Rollins was passed favorably out of committee on a unanimous vote.
Rollins, who served as a White House aide during Trump's first administration and then as the president and CEO of the America First Policy Institute, is widely viewed as an uncontroversial nominee.
