The Senate voted Thursday to confirm William Barr, President Trump’s pick to serve as his next attorney general.

Barr’s confirmation passed a 54-45 mostly party line vote in the GOP-led Senate. The vote came more than three months after Jeff Sessions, Trump's first attorney general, was fired.

Despite complaints from most Democrats, three of them voted to confirm Barr: Doug Jones of Alabama, Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona. Republican Rand Paul, R-Ky., who questioned Barr’s support of federal surveillance tactics, voted against him.

Barr won the overwhelming support of Republican senators, who praised his long career as a lawyer and former attorney general for President George H.W. Bush.

The position has been filled temporarily by Sessions’ chief of staff, Matthew Whitaker, since Sessions was fired.
