Tuberville skipped the vote to end the debate on President Joe Biden's pick for chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, Jared Bernstein.The move to end debate on Bernstein's nomination was passed in a 50-49 vote that included Sen. Joe Manchin standing with the 48 Republicans present. Bernstein was later confirmed with the same 50-49 tally, with Manchin's lone Democratic vote.
"Would it have been nice to force another tiebreaking vote to highlight the partisanship of these noms? Sure. But at the end of the day, it’s the same outcome," a Senate GOP aide told the Washington Examiner. "That said, attendance is up to each member, so they’d have to react to why he decided to miss the vote."Bernstein, who has served on the economic council since the beginning of Biden's administration, will fill the post vacated by Cecilia Rouse in March.
