The Senate confirmed entrepreneur Jared Isaacman as NASA administrator on Wednesday, marking one of the last major agency heads to be placed in their positions since the beginning of the second Trump administration.

The Senate voted 67-30 to confirm Isaacman as the agency’s 15th administrator. Before the confirmation vote, the Senate agreed to invoke cloture on the nomination, also 67-30.
