The U.S. Senate voted to confirm President Donald Trump’s nominee to be secretary of energy, Chris Wright, 59-38, days after confirming Doug Burgum as secretary of the interior.

Trump's nominees for energy and interior secretary cleared the ENR committee on bipartisan votes and now head to the floor where Senate leadership has been working to approve his cabinet picks.

Chris Wright, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to head the Department of Energy, positioned himself as a supporter of an all-of-the-above approach to developing generation and transmission before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
