By Ahmed Aboulenein WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Seven U.S. Senate Democrats demanded on Wednesday that President Donald Trump's administration reinstate all of the employees it fired from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention since he took office.

A group of Senate Democrats is calling on President Trump to reverse the firings of two Democratic members of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to allow the independent agency to “get back to the people’s work.

The advance vote: The Senate voted 62-38 to end debate on the bill – a cloture vote – and advance it to a final vote. Nine Democrats and one independent, led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., voted in favor of cloture. That vote allowed the bill to pass with a simple majority in the final vote.
