The U.S. Senate voted 53-46 to confirm Mike Huckabee as the U.S. Ambassador to Israel on Wednesday, an appointment celebrated by prominent Evangelical conservatives. 

Except Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., all Democrats voted against Huckabee’s confirmation. All other votes in favor of Huckabee came from Republicans. 

Before taking on this new diplomatic role, Huckabee served as a pastor, amassed a lengthy career in state and presidential politics and became a television personality.
