He concluded: “If you agree with Kash Patel, you will make a ruling on the day of this vote because the American people will hold you accountable and we will make sure that the American people are aware of this vote.”
The Senate will vote to pass the debate to end Patel’s nomination early in the morning and hold a final confirmation vote in the afternoon.
