HuffPost
Wormuth was nominated by President Joe Biden in April and is the first woman to hold the Army’s top civilian post.
Christine Wormuth made history Thursday morning when the Senate confirmed her as the nation’s first female Army secretary. Wormuth was approved by unanimous consent in the Senate for her new role, which is the Army’s top civilian post. Though she was meant to be confirmed Wednesday night, a “procedural hiccup” paused her confirmation, according to Roll Call reporter Andrew Clevenger. She was confirmed the following morning. In her new role, Wormuth will oversee the Army’s policies, programs and budgets to be presented to the secretary of defense.
