US Senate confirms Brown as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs

Home World US Senate confirms Brown as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs [21-09-2023 10:09 AM] Ammon News - A majority of the U.S. Senate backed U.S. Air Force chief General Charles Q. Brown on Wednesday to be the top U.S. military officer, as lawmakers moved to confirm some of the top senior officers whose promotions have been stalled by a Republican senator's blockade, according to Reuters. The Senate backed President Joe Biden's nomination of Brown to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff by 83 to 11. The Senate moved ahead with votes on Brown and two other top military officers as Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, used a procedural maneuver to sidestep a blockade by Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville. Biden's nomination of Brown, which was announced in May, followed his appointment of Austin as the first Black U.S. secretary of defense, the top civilian position at the Pentagon. Brown is a former fighter pilot who brings command experience in the Pacific to the position at a time of rising tension with China. Reuters
