His confirmation was backed by several GOP senators, including Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Mitt Romney (R-UT), Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Susan Collins (R-ME), and retiring Senator Rob Portman (R-OH).
Mayoka was also backed by the most centrist of the Democrats, Sen. Joe Manchin (R-WV).
