Janet Yellen’s nomination for Treasury secretary could be approved by the Senate as soon as Thursday, senators indicated during her confirmation hearing.

Ron Wyden, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, said he hoped the full chamber could vote on Thursday, given that Democrats and Republicans agreed to have written follow-up questions ready for Yellen by the close of business on Wednesday.
