Scrapping plans for what was to be its first cloture vote this year on an presidential nominee, the Senate will hold an up-or-down confirmation vote at 4:30 p.m. today for Rep. Hilda Solis, D-Calif., to be Labor secretary, Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said this morning. A GOP leadership aide said Republicans dropped objections to the vote after they reached a time agreement with Democrats. The sides failed to agree on debate timing before last week's recess.
