Scott Turner will be the next secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) after the Senate voted to confirm him on Feb. 5.

The 55–44 vote adds one more member to President Donald Trump’s growing Cabinet, less than a week after the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee voted along party lines, 13–11, to advance the former NFL player’s nomination to the Senate floor.
