The Senate on Tuesday confirmed Cindy McCain as the US ambassador to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture, securing a longtime Republican ally of President Joe Biden for a spot in his administration.
McCain -- the widow of GOP Sen. John McCain of Arizona, whose relationship with Biden has spanned decades -- was confirmed nearly four months after the President nominated her to the position, which focuses on ending global hunger and expanding access to quality foods worldwide.
The request to confirm McCain was made on the Senate floor by Sen. Mark Kelly, a Democrat from Arizona, while Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, another Arizona Democrat, was the presiding officer at the time of the vote. Following her confirmation, McCain shared a tweet from a Senate Twitter account announcing that her nomination had passed, adding simply: "It's official!!"
While McCain's spot in the administration reflects Biden's desire to govern in a more bipartisan Washington, it also pushes the noted Republican further into the embrace of the Democratic Party, which she has occasionally sided with in recent years after former President Donald Trump made an enemy of her late husband, the GOP's 2008 presidential nominee.

She’s certainly qualified....especially deserts.
Honorary takes many contortions??¿
What’s with the bottom up appointment, never mind.
For being AZ don’t audit rep. She and her daughter or whatever tge relationship is.
BFD. So McCain had an R after his name. Therefore, he’s a candidate for sainthood? And Brandon is being vicariously “bipartisan” by hiring his wife? Screw it.
Just what all those starving children need to see; a fat white woman with no experience whatsoever.
I thought it was her daughter who was fat.
Nah, she's the drug addict. Her daughter is fat.
Meghan McCain, the daughter, is the porker.
I suppose she needs a government do nothing job because she doesn’t have any real skills.
Where’s the link to the Bee?
Why would any starving kids ever see her? Has the Border Patrol ever seen Kamala? Have the dock workers ever seen Buttigieg? None of these people do anything. Ever. And that’s a good thing. When they do things, people suffer and/or die.
The food agency is gonna run out of food.
should have made her ambassador to Iraq
or Afghanistan
American royalty. Once you get in the club and play by the rules, you and your family are set for life.
Don’t know why the filthy rich wife of a senator would want to take a low-end job as US ambassador to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture.
Must be one of those no-show jobs where she gets paid $300,000 a year to do nothing and then brags about it at her cocktail parties.
How far away can she be sent/stationed? Then, have her daughter regularly visit.
Well, that is the established way to funnel money to a supporter. Look at the intended job RevWright was offered by Biden1, ~$300K.
Politicos regularly do such for relatives — the money coming back to the politico is almost impossible to track — unless you are stupid enough to quote the amount (10% for the big guy) like BeijingBiden’s son did. If that happens you have to get the MSM to stage a coverup until the public forgets.
Nothing will slow this except a perp walk on camera and piccies for years afterward — from prison.
Neither Cindy McCain or her husband were Republicans. She endorsed Biden.
Like the Bush family, the McCains are opportunists and posers who used the GOP to further their personal political ambitions. They have no loyalty to the GOP.
A worthless envoy to a worthless organization.
US out of the UN!
UN out of the US!
