The Senate has officially voted to confirm Kash Patel as the new director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
On Thursday, in a 51-49 vote, Patel was confirmed to be the ninth director of the FBI. He will serve a 10-year term.
In order to have been passed, no more than three Republicans could have voted “no” or “nay” on his confirmation.
One of the two Republicans that voted “nay” in relation to Patel serving as the FBI director, was Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska). Additionally, she also voted no on Donald Trump’s now-confirmed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Additionally, as a surprise to many, Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who announced earlier today that he is not running for re-election 2026, ended up voting “yes” (“yea”) to confirm Patel. He has voted against three of Trump’s Cabinet nominees.
All of the Congressional voting sessions to move Patel closer to the final confirmation have been close. The vote to advance Patel’s nomination to the final Senate vote was 51-47 along party lines.

Now Murkowski and Collins need severe punishment for Falsely alledging that FIB has been non-partisan when they have been Traitors to America and the Constitution.
FULL SEND KASH!
Murky is an a-hole
Lets get this party started..
I sense a great sadness in the force as if many people lost their jobs.
LFGooooo!
We’re all watching Patel....We want mass criminal charges and prosecutions. Size their GD mansions, assets and accounts!
Scorched earth, baby.
yo kash,,,,
DRILL BABY DRILL !!!!!
Murky yes, not Collins.
She is a Republican in a Democratic state. Nobody who replaced Collins would be better, they’d be much worse. Elizabeth Warren bad. Take the 75% Collins gives you and rejoice she gives us that.
I think there are a bunch of sub-directors who also need confirmation, but it looks like Trump now has a complete set of people, totally unlike his first term when confirmations dragged on.
Now it’s Time to Kash In.
I am honored to be confirmed as the ninth Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Thank you to President Trump and Attorney General Bondi for your unwavering confidence and support.
The FBI has a storied legacy—from the “G-Men” to safeguarding our nation in the wake of 9/11. The American people deserve an FBI that is transparent, accountable, and committed to justice. The politicalization of our justice system has eroded public trust—but that ends today.
My mission as Director is clear: let good cops be cops—and rebuild trust in the FBI.
Working alongside the dedicated men and women of the Bureau and our partners, we will rebuild an FBI the American people can be proud of.
And to those who seek to harm Americans—consider this your warning. We will hunt you down in every corner of this planet.
Mission First. America Always. Let’s get to work.
After 8 years, Trump finally controls the political nerve center of Fed.gov and top law enforcement / lawfare / investigative bodies of Fed.gov - the DOJ and FBI
It took a LONG time.
Payback is a bitch.
ENJOY
Hundreds will call in sick tomorrow.
It’s Friday, after all.
