Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions' nomination for U.S. attorney general was approved by a Senate panel Wednesday morning and will now proceed to the full chamber for a final vote.
The Senate Committee on the Judiciary voted along party lines to recommend Sessions' confirmation. Republicans hold an 11-9 majority on the panel. All 11 Republicans announced their intent to support Sessions in advance of Wednesday's meeting.
Sessions could be confirmed by the full Senate by the end of the week.
