Haspel confirmation vote. All the Republicans, six Dems.

 

May 17, 2018

WASHINGTON (AP) — Veteran spy Gina Haspel will become the first female director of the CIA on Thursday after six Democrats joined Republicans in a Senate confirmation vote that overrode concerns about her role in the spy agency's harsh interrogation program after 9/11.

 

The 54-45 vote split both parties, and the margin was the closest for a CIA nominee in the nearly seven decades that a nod from the Senate has been required. Haspel, who has spent nearly all of her 33-year CIA career in undercover positions, is the first career operations officer to be confirmed since William Colby in 1973.

Guess I'll correct that again.

 

Every Republican member of the committee voted in favor, including two Democrats — Sens. Mark Warner of Virginia and Joe Manchin of West Virginia. Four Democrats and one independent voted against Haspel, including:

 

Dianne Feinstein of California

Ron Wyden of Oregon

Kamala Harris of California

Martin Heinrich of New Mexico

Angus King of Maine, who is an independent

Interesting to note Kamala Harris voted against.

That was the Senate Intelligence Committee vote for confirmation of Haspel.
