Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) filed a cloture motion April 16 on Bridenstine's nomination. The Senate could vote on the motion as soon as April 18, with only a simple majority required for passage. If approved, there would be up to 30 hours of debate on the nomination before a vote. That vote, sources say, could take place April 19, depending on the amount of debate and other Senate business.
