ButtiPete was just confirmed by the Senate as Minister for Transportation !

What was the vote?

ongoing

Who has Cruz voted yes on?

[riceowl]

Also interesting that the R Aye list is rather different. I thought it'd just be one person who voted Y for Garland and N for Fudge but nope.

Another question, why does Granholm already have an official portrait and why is it so good? When will POTUS and VPOTUS get theirs?

[riceowl]

Can't wait for Fox to dissect it as having Kamala possibly angled more to the front than Joe.
