Haaland Confirmed by Senate to Be Biden's Interior Secretary

摘要

The Senate narrowly confirmed Deb Haaland as Interior secretary on Monday, clearing the way for the lawmaker from New Mexico to become the first Native American to serve in any president's cabinet."It is long, long, long past time that this country had a Native American leading the Interior Department," said Senator Ron Wyden, a Democrat from Oregon, said before the vote. "We have got a nominee who is qualified. She is fair. She is going to concentrate on bringing people together, and she is going to make history."
