Add another member to President Biden’s cabinet. Xavier Becerra was confirmed by a narrow 50-49 vote to lead the Department of Health & Human Services. The former California Attorney General, the son of Mexican immigrants, becomes the first Latino to lead the huge federal agency.
I’m honored and humbled by today’s vote in the Senate. Thank you. I’m ready to get to work at @HHSgov.
