US SENATE CONFIRMS TRUMP PICK CAINE AS TOP US MILITARY OFFICER

The U.S. Senate voted to confirm retired Air Force Lieutenant General Dan "Razin" Caine on Friday as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, two months after President Donald Trump abruptly fired his predecessor.

The Senate voted 60 to 25 to confirm Caine. He won strong support from both Trump's fellow Republicans as well as Democrats, although the vote took place early in the morning after Democrats refused to agree to a quicker confirmation.
