The full Senate voted 86-13 to confirm Pete Buttigieg’s historic nomination as Transportation Secretary. Buttigieg is the first Senate-confirmed openly gay cabinet secretary.

Thirteen Republican senators — Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton, Roger Marshall, Rick Scott, Tommy Tuberville, Richard Shelby, Josh Hawley, Marsha Blackburn, Marco Rubio, Tim Scott, James Lankford, Bill Hagerty, and Bill Cassidy — voted against Buttigieg’s nomination.

I'm honored and humbled by today's vote in the Senate—and ready to get to work @USDOT.
