The Senate will return for legislative business on June 2.

Filing cloture is the first step is bringing a nomination to the floor for a vote.  Isaacman is one of four who were approved to proceed to the next step, a vote to invoke cloture.  Usually they go in order and, indeed, the Duffey nomination is scheduled for a cloture vote on June 2.  After cloture is invoked, the Senate votes on the nomination itself, which can happen quickly or not depending on the Senate schedule and whether there is strong opposition.  Presumably they’ll vote on Isaacman’s nomination sometime during the week of June 2.
