5/6 Senate Makes History By Confirming Loretta Lynch As U.S. Attorney General

Loretta Lynch was confirmed as U.S. attorney general on Thursday after months of GOP delays.  She is making very important history, becoming the first African-American woman to be U.S. attorney general. She was confirmed in the Senate 56 to 43.  All Democrats voted for her and 10 Republicans as well. Senator Ted Cruz was the only senator not to vote for her. He claimed Lynch was "unfit" for the job.
