WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Senate Democrats on Tuesday boycotted a scheduled vote in the Senate Finance Committee on Steven Mnuchin, President Donald Trump’s pick to be treasury secretary, and Rep. Tom Price to be health secretary. Sen. Orrin Hatch, the Republican chairman of the Finance Committee, said he was nonplussed by the Democratic boycott. The committee needs at least one Democrat in order to proceed, he said. “We’ll just keep trying to get them to come and do their jobs. I’m very disappointed in this type of crap,” Hatch said. He said he fully intended continue to push for a vote.
