A key Senate panel on Tuesday approved President Trump’s nominee to represent the United States at the United Nations.

Gov. Nikki Haley, R-S.C., received all but two votes on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, setting her up for an easy confirmation when the full Senate votes on her nomination. That showing was an improvement over Secretary of State-designate Rex Tillerson’s party-line showing in Monday’s vote.
