President Donald Trump's pick for Treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin, cleared a key procedural hurdle in the Senate early Friday morning in a 53-46 vote. 

The vote to limit debate on Mnuchin's nomination moves him one step closer to confirmation. Democrats now have the right to debate for 30 hours before moving to a final vote. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) broke ranks and voted with the Republicans, while Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) sat out the vote. 

Senate Democrats have fiercely opposed Mnuchin's nomination. They refused to show up to the committee-level vote on his confirmation after arguing that the nominee provided insufficient answers to their questions on foreclosures by the bank he once led, OneWest. Republicans slammed Democrats as being obstructionists.
