House now voting on the waiver for Biden’s Sec of Defense nominee. Expected to pass without trouble.
In fact, this is pretty clearly going to be an overwhelming vote in favor.
There is currently bipartisan support and bipartisan opposition. Expect the same scenario in the Senate, though of course the bipartisan support is larger by far than the bipartisan opposition.
For example, Porter (D) of California is voting against and Steel (R) of California is voting in favor.
Already more than enough support. 
Cleared 300 as well as a majority of the House GOP caucus.
Final vote was 326-78. 15 Democrats opposed and 121 Republicans voted in favor.
The Senate will take it up today as well, and it seems pretty certain Austin will be Biden’s second Cabinet level confirmation.
