Vote was 54-45 in favor.

Six Democrats helped Republicans in confirming Haspel: Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Sen. Joe Donnelly of Indiana, Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida, Sen. Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, and Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia – most of whom are up for re-election this November in states Trump won handily in 2016.

Two Republicans opposed Haspel’s nomination: Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky, and Jeff Flake of Arizona.

Aren’t several/most of those Dem Senators up for tough reelections?

How does a proHaspel vote help these Democrats?
