Dems Reject Schumer, Join Republicans To Give Trump Another Win

More than a dozen Democratic senators voted with Republicans on Monday to confirm President Donald Trump’s latest nominee,

himself once a Republican member of the upper chamber.

The Senate confirmed David Perdue of Georgia to become Trump’s ambassador to China, an all-important post given the significance of trade and national security issues with the world’s second-largest economy. The vote was 64-27 in favor of cloture, which requires 60 votes.
