The Senate voted on Thursday to approve the nomination of Rohit Chopra, President Joe Biden’s choice to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The vote to confirm Chopra was conducted along party lines, with 50 Democrats voting in favor and 48 Republicans voting against.

Sen. Sherrod Brown, chairman of the Banking Committee, praised Chopra for being successfully confirmed. The Ohio Democrat said Chopra is ready to “stand up to the biggest banks and the most powerful corporations to protect families, service members, students, and the elderly.”
