RHODE ISLAND â The Senate has confirmed now former Gov. Gina Raimondo to serve as the next U.S. Commerce Secretary.
The Tuesday vote, which passed with bipartisan support, came more than seven weeks after President Joe Biden first tapped Raimondo to serve in his cabinet. In the hours that followed her confirmation, Raimondo would officially resign her governorship and pave the way for Lt. Gov. Dan McKee to take the reins.Â
âServing as governor these past six years has been the honor of my lifetime,â Raimondo wrote in her official letter of resignation to McKee. âTogether, we jump-started our economy, lifted up small businesses, made record investments in education, led the fight against climate change, made long-overdue repairs to crumbling roads, bridges and schools, and provided skills and a pathway to a good job for thousands of Rhode Islanders.â
