"Senate Confirms Biden Pick For No. 2 Role At Interior"

"The Senate confirmed President Biden’s pick for the No. 2 role at the Interior Department on Thursday with broad bipartisan support, but opposition from one progressive and a handful of Republicans.

Senators voted 88-9 to confirm Tommy Beaudreau as deputy Interior Secretary, with eight Republicans and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) opposing the nomination.

Sanders's office told The Hill that the senator voted against Beaudreau because of his ties to oil companies."

Rachel Frazin reports for The Hill June 17, 2021.
