Pence breaks tie to confirm Trump's pick for religious ambassador
By Jordain Carney - 01/24/18 06:07 PM EST

Vice President Pence broke a tie on Wednesday to confirm Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback (R) to be President Trump's ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom.

The 49-49 vote marked the second time within hours that Pence was called in to help get Brownback through the chamber. He also broke a tie earlier Wednesday to end debate on the nomination.

With Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) at Davos and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) battling brain cancer, Senate Republicans effectively have a 49-49 majority until one of the senators returns.

Maybe we can all catch a break and Bob will be buried by an avalanche.

A white guy named Brownback is blatant cultural appropriation.

I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

If either one of these guys returns, the GOP could very well lose its legislative majority.
