While all Democrats supported the nomination, Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) voted against it. With the vote tied at 50-50, Ms. Harris&#8217;s decisive vote was necessary to break the tie in the Senate, where Democrats hold a slim majority of 51-49.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Epoch Times has reached out to Senator Manchin&#8217;s office to inquire about his reasons for voting against the nomination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Ms. Kotagal&#8217;s confirmation, the Democrats now have a 3-2 majority on the EEOC, an agency dedicated to combating employment discrimination. The commission currently consists of two Democrat and two Republican commissioners. Ms. Kotagal, a Democrat, fills the seat left vacant by Republican Janet Dhillon, whose term ended last year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Senate Majority Leader Schumer celebrated Vice President Harris&#8217;s historic achievement, stating, &#8220;This is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/baseball-the-waiting-game-no-home-run-for-judge-in-return-to-new-york\/\" title=\"Baseball-The waiting game: No home run for Judge in return to New York\">history-making moment<\/a> for the United States Senate.
