The U.S. Senate confirmed Embry Kidd to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit on Monday with a razor-thin 49-45 vote.
Kidd, a federal magistrate judge with a controversial record, now holds a lifetime appointment to the appeals court overseeing Alabama, Florida, and Georgia.
Republican senators faced criticism for failing to prevent this appointment, with several notable absences during the vote.
Among those missing were:
- Mike Braun (R-IN)
- Steve Daines (R-MT)
- Bill Hagerty (R-TN)
- Marco Rubio (R-FL)
- J.D. Vance (R-OH)
