Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) filed for cloture on the nomination of Chuck Hagel as the secretary of defense on Wednesday, saying it was the first time in history that such a nomination faced a filibuster.
“What a shame,” Reid said on the Senate floor. “But, that’s the way it is.”
The Senate will vote to end debate on Friday, ultimately requiring 60 votes to proceed to final confirmation.
