On the Nomination

On July 18, 2019, the U.S. Senate voted to confirm a presidential nominee to a federal position. With a final tally of 54–40, the "agreed to" result means the nominee was successfully confirmed and authorized to begin their duties in the executive or judicial branch.

The vote followed a largely partisan pattern, with 51 Republicans voting in favor and 38 Democrats voting against. While the confirmation was successful, it lacked broad bipartisan support, as only three Democrats joined the Republican majority and one Republican voted in opposition.
