Summary
On July 11, 2019, the U.S. Senate voted to confirm a presidential nominee to a federal position. With a final tally of 52–38, the "agreed to" result means the nominee received the necessary majority support to officially assume their role in the government.
The vote followed a strict party-line pattern, with all 52 "yea" votes coming from Republicans and all 37 "nay" votes coming from Democrats. Because no members of the minority party voted in favor and no members of the majority party voted against, the confirmation was achieved without bipartisan support.
