Senator Chris Van Hollen says he will vote against three of President Donald Trump’s cabinet nominations.
The Maryland Democrat says he will oppose Senator Jeff Sessions for Attorney General saying that he is trouble by his record on voting rights and the rights of women, minorities and the LGBT community.
He also said he did not believe that Sessions would provide an independent check on Trump’s push to bar Muslims from coming into the country.
Maryland’s Junior Senator said he opposed Chris Pruitt to head up the Environmental Protection Agency.
He said he did not feel Pruitt was committed enough to protecting the environment especially in cleaning up the Chesapeake Bay.
Finally, Van Hollen said he would not support Betsy Devos for Secretary of Education siting her lack of knowledge about such issues as the affordability of higher education and evaluating student progress.
