Senate Confirms Trump’s Nominee For Navy Secretary

The U.S. Senate voted to confirm John Phelan as the next Secretary of the Navy. Phelan, a Florida businessman and founder of a private investment firm, is also a major donor to former President Trump’s campaign.

He was confirmed by a 62-30 vote in the full Senate. Despite having no prior military experience, Phelan secured bipartisan support for the role, The Hill reported.

While Phelan did not face direct opposition during his February 27 nomination hearing, some lawmakers voiced concerns over his lack of military service or experience managing any civilian branch of the Pentagon.
