| Rex Tillerson, former ExxonMobil CEO, confirmed by Senate as Secretary of State |
| The U.S. Senate voted Wednesday to confirm ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson as the next secretary of state. The vote in favor of President Trump’s pick for the key cabinet post fell mostly along partisan lines, even after some Republican senators voiced concerns about his ties to Russia. Tillerson needed a simple majority for confirmation, and the final vote was 56 in favor, 43 against. |
