The Senate confirmed Judge Merrick Garland to serve as President Biden’s Attorney General on Wednesday afternoon, by a vote of 70 to 30. Garland previously served as a Judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. He was nominated by former President Obama to serve on the Supreme Court, but his nomination was blocked by the Republican majority in the Senate during a presidential election year.
