Kelly Loeffler was confirmed as head of the Small Business Administration in a narrow 52–46 Senate vote, drawing significant political and media attention.
Her confirmation, which adds to President Trump’s cabinet, sparked controversy due to its potential impact on federal reform and spending. Notably, one Democrat, Sen. Jacky Rosen, joined Republicans in support, highlighting rare bipartisan backing. The vote also revealed internal GOP divisions, with some Republicans abstaining or breaking ranks. Loeffler’s appointment is seen as a pivotal move for small business policy amid ongoing economic uncertainty.
