Senate confirms Antony Blinken as Biden's secretary of state

Washington (CNN)The Senate voted Tuesday to confirm Antony Blinken as the new US secretary of state.

Blinken, a longtime Biden associate, was approved by a vote of 78-22.
With Blinken's confirmation, President Joe Biden now has a number of key members of his national security team in place. In addition to National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan -- who does not require Senate confirmation -- Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines was confirmed on Inauguration Day and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was confirmed last Friday.
His confirmation was welcomed by lawmakers on both sides of the aisle as well as the professional association for the US Foreign Service.

It's nice seeing some bipartisanship, even if it is just to confirm Biden's Cabinet picks. That also means that Biden is picking relatively non-controversial people that most people agree will do a good job.

I agree. It's nice to see someone qualified for the position get support from both sides. Picking the right Cabinet is almost as important as who is sitting in the Oval Office.
