The Senate confirmed California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, 50–49, in the closest confirmation vote a Biden cabinet nominee has seen.
All but one Republican [Susan Collins] opposed Becerra’s confirmation.
Becerra, a pro-abortion former U.S. representative widely criticized for lacking health experience, is the only cabinet member of the 20 so far confirmed who was not favorably recommended after their committee hearing. The Finance Committee was deadlocked 14–14 on approving him, which forced Democrats to vote on discharging his nomination from the committee. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said on the Senate floor last week prior to voting for the discharge, “I’m perplexed that none of my Republican colleagues would vote for him.”
Schumer bashed Republicans in a speech Thursday just prior to the confirmation vote for attempting to “derail [Becerra’s] nomination” with arguments that “verge on the ridiculous.” Becerra, Schumer said, “has decades of standing up for working and middle class Americans in Congress, fighting to protect and expand Medicare, Medicaid and working to safeguard our healthcare system from attacks by the Trump administration.”
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) called Becerra “woefully unqualified” and “a partisan politician with no expertise in healthcare” in a statement after his confirmation.
Sen. Ted Cruz deemed Becerra the “single-worst cabinet nominee put forward by Joe Biden.”

LORD, have mercy on America. PLEASE.
This clown is one of the biggest dirtbags on the planet, he isn’t qualified to anything. Actually it is because his Policies and Actions that I have vowed to Vote NOT GUILTY if I am ever put on a Jury Trial where the perp is an Illegal and the Victim is a Public Employee.
Becerra is a white hating racist Mexican Separatist.
He only favors abortion because it means white women will be getting it while Mexican women will be having 5 kids.
That’s all he is and to call him an “American” is a joke.
“LORD, have mercy on America. PLEASE.”
Not for quite some time, I fear. America is not overall repentant yet. Gonna take some real, painful, loss-full suffering first.
Was he elected by getting some RINO to reach across the aisle?
I heard Becerra/Bacarria him say that he wants to get rid of Medicare Advantage because it is “too generous.” Do you hear that seniors?
Margin don’t matter. In is in.
Susan Collins...the gift that keeps on giving.
Keep em coming , America was cheated for this
Notice I didn’t say voted for this
WHAT THE F IS WRONG WITH COLLINS?
She’s representing her constituents.
He’s not perfect for the job thats for certain. No dispute there. He is perfect for this administration however. The more ill-qualified people on bidens side the better as far as im concerned. The quicker our country is brought to its knees the better. Yes my attitude has gone to hell.
Another Communist
Susan Collins
What is the over/under on when Xavier will make this statement?
Susan Colonoscopy: painful and embarrassing.
Becerra is a longtime Soros operative.
***..it means white women will be getting it while Mexican women will be having 5 kids.***
My sister in-law heard this from some loud Hispanics a few years ago...
“WE are taking Texas back one baby at a time!”
I live in Maine.
I hate that b*tch with a passion.
