On Thursday, in a 51-49 vote, Patel was confirmed to be the ninth director of the FBI. He will serve a 10-year term.
In order to have been passed, no more than three Republicans could have voted “no” or “nay” on his confirmation.
One of the two Republicans that voted “nay” in relation to Patel serving as the FBI director, was Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska). Additionally, she also voted no on Donald Trump’s now-confirmed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
