The Senate confirmed President Biden's nominee for FDA commissioner, Dr. Robert Califf, on Tuesday with a vote of 50 to 46, with one senator voting present, despite several Democrats opposing the selection and Sen. Ben Ray Luján, D-N.M., absent as he recovers from a stroke.
While Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., Ed Markey, D-Mass., and Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., all went against the administration by voting against Califf, Republican Sens. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, Susan Collins, R-Maine, Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Roy Blunt, R-Mo., Patrick Toomey, R-Pa., and Richard Burr, R-N.C., all voted for him. Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., withdrew his no vote and voted present to sync up with Luján.
Califf previously held the office during the end of the Obama administration from February 2016 to January 2017, and he has been criticized for not taking appropriate steps to combat the opioid crisis. Some of the toughest questions Califf faced during his December confirmation hearing came from Democrats.

The guy looks like a homeless vagrant.
The USELESS Party
The usual suspects.
Dependable, aren’t they.
Republicrats.
Always the same crew, isn’t it?
The people of Utah should really be ashamed of themselves.
McConnell’s Senate. Give them the majority. All will be wonderful. /s
[[Always the same crew, isn’t it?]]
Yes it is and the republican national committee should do to them what they did to cheney and cryin kinzinger- those pukes are so consistently anti-republican in their votes they should be primaried for betraying the party-
Look at GOP Senator Richard Burr’s voting record since he was accused of insider trading and the DOJ decided not to prosecute. Is it coincidental he voted to convict Trump, and is helping to get Biden’s people in?
Toomey can’t be gone soon enough!
Worthless
“Republicrats”
Traitors.
RINO’s doing the job that even godless Democrats won’t do (and one of them is a Moron, er, Mormon).
OMG you have got to be kidding me these bastard republicans have no shame!!!!
Assistant Democrats will always assist the Democrats, it’s what they do.
the republican national committee should do to them what they did to cheney and cryin kinzinger
Actually, the people of their respective states should be demanding and protesting for their resignations. I know there is no recall effort.
However, have the people of Utah, finally wake up, unite and demand that Romney does not represent the values of the voters, isn’t doing the job they sent him to DC for, and isn’t wanted in the Senate anymore. What would his choices be? Give everyone the finger and stay? I don’t he, nor any of the others except some Democrats and maybe Graham, would stay under that kind of pressure. If that doesn’t work, start at the local level with the county and state legislatures, demanding that he resign.
Only way to reign any of these people in and they only do what they do, because they can.
I got an URGENT Fund raising message today from “Kevin” wondering if I bailed on the GOP.
YES!!
“....[To no ones great surprise,] Republican [in name only] Sens. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, Susan Collins, R-Maine, Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Roy Blunt, R-Mo., Patrick Toomey, R-Pa., and Richard Burr, R-N.C., all voted for him.”
There...! fixed that....
What a surprise. Exactly the names you’d expect.
Damn repuklikan quislings...Not even all the dumblecrats would vote for this jerk!
