On Monday, the Senate approved Denis McDonough as President Joe Biden’s Veterans Affairs secretary with an 87-7 vote.
McDonough, 51, has never served in the U.S. Armed Forces, nor does he have healthcare experience. His expertise includes global affairs and navigating through the federal governmental bureaucracy. He was reportedly chosen because he had worked closely with Biden in the Obama administration and knew how to get things done in D.C.
