Summary
On May 16, 2019, the Senate voted to confirm a presidential nomination for a federal position. With a final tally of 52–45, the "agreed to" result means the nominee received the necessary majority support to be officially appointed to their role.
The vote followed a strict party-line split, with all 52 "yea" votes coming from Republicans and all 45 "nay" votes coming from Democrats (and Independents who caucus with them). Because there was no crossover support from either side, the confirmation was achieved through a unified party vote rather than bipartisan consensus.
