The Senate has approved CIA Director Mike Pompeo to become President Donald Trump's second secretary of state on Thursday.
The vote to approved Pompeo was 57-42 on Thursday.
President Donald Trump fired his first Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in a Twitter message in March.
He tapped Pompeo, a former Kansas Republican Congressman, to take the job after the two developed a close relationship during his tenure as the chief intelligence officer, during which Pompeo personally delivered the daily briefings at the White House.
