Live updates: Trump meets with GOP leaders; Senate delays Ratcliffe confirmation

Day 2 of the second Trump administration contained a less pomp but continued circumstance.

President Trump and Vice President Vance attended a prayer service at Washington National Cathedral in the morning. Trump is expected to meet with Republican leaders later in the day.

More of Trump's Cabinet nominees face senators on the path to confirmation. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was sworn in early Tuesday, the first of Trump's picks to reach that point. CIA director-nominee John Ratcliffe could be on the job by the end of the day.

The Senate Finance Committee advanced the nomination of Scott Bessent for Treasury secretary.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in her quest to be confirmed as Trump's United Nations ambassador. Over in the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, lawmakers will question Trump's VA nominee, Doug Collins.
