Five Republicans voted in favor of the Gomez nomination, according to the Senate Press Gallery. The Republican yes votes came from Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mike Rounds of South Dakota, and Todd Young of Indiana.

Yes, they are Republican. They made the right choice, and should be named and thanked vs focusing news on Cruz.

Sens. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Jerry Moran (R-Kans.) did not vote.

Why not? This is your job.

Any vote Moran misses is a win for Kansas, and America.

Dunno about Booker but Moran is a moron.
