How Chris Wright did at his confirmation hearing

from POLITICO Energy · host POLITICO

Chris Wright, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Energy Department, appeared to navigate through his confirmation hearing Wednesday largely unscathed. But Wright still had to contend with climate protesters, and Democrats still withheld their support as they seek a firmer commitment from him on addressing climate change. Josh Siegel, Ben Lefebvre and Kelsey Tamborrino discuss. Plus, Doug Burgum pledged to divest himself of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of shares of stock and land holdings if he is confirmed as Interior Secretary.
