It was just the Senate Banking Committee vote and Calabria as expected squeaked by; he should be confirmed by the full Senate when they vote but there is no scheduled date at this time to my knowledge.

I'm suddenly kind of nervous about this, actually. I didn't think Calabria's committee vote would be this close. All Rs voted yes and all Ds voted no.

The Rs only have a slim majority in the full Senate. It wouldn't take much to scuttle Calabria's nomination, and that would be a major setback.
