Fox News
The Senate confirmed President Biden's pick for energy secretary Jennifer Granholm in a 64-35 vote Thursday afternoon.
Fourteen Republicans joined 48 Democrats and two independents in supporting Granholm's nomination. Granholm, the former Democratic governor of auto industry stronghold Michigan, has focused on clean energy in recent years. Some Republican senators expressed concern that she would go along with Democrats' green agenda on Wednesday when the Senate voted 67-32 to end debate on Granholm's nomination.More Related News
