One Republican joined the 50 Democrats to vote in favor of President Joe Biden’s associate attorney general nominee, Vanita Gupta, confirming her nomination with a 51-49 vote.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said from the Senate floor on Wednesday that she had an “extensive” conversation with Gupta, and that she was impressed by her professional credentials and the “passion that she carries with her with the work that she performs.”
