Susan Collins Will Vote to Confirm Xavier Becerra

March 11, 2021 · 12:19 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) will support Xavier Becerra to become President Biden’s secretary of Health and Human Services, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

“Although the California attorney general will still likely be among the most narrowly confirmed of Biden’s Cabinet nominees, Collins’ support ensures that he will have at least one Republican vote, and almost certainly avoids the need for Vice President Kamala Harris to break a tie vote in the Senate on his nomination.”
