I should also note that 7 Republicans (Cramer, Daines, Moran, Scott (FL), Scott (SC), Tuberville and Wicker) were absent for the vote. Had these Democrats not gone along with the GOP, Van Hook would have not been confirmed.
Alexander Van Hook is confirmed 53-40 to be a District Judge of Western Louisiana. According to @senatepress.bsky.social, the Dems yeas are Dick Durbin (IL), Maggie Hassan (NH), Tim Kaine (VA), Amy Klobuchar (MN), Jeanne Shaheen (NH), and Peter Welch (VT). Angus King (I-ME) was also a yea.
