"I think you're going to see very strong pushback by Democrats in the Senate on some of [President Trump's] extreme nominees," said Senator Coons. "Scott Pruitt to run the EPA in particular is someone who not only would have approved these pipelines, but would have made major changes to the laws that protect clean air and clean water. Betsy DeVos, who is the nominee to be Secretary of Education, has had withering criticism and opposition here in the Senate. She's someone where many of us are going to vote not just no, but no way."
