Ted Cruz
Ted Cruz also voted in opposition of Buttigieg’s confirmation. A spokesperson for Cruz said he voted against the confirmation because of his support for Biden’s energy policy.
“As Sen. Cruz told Mr. Buttigieg at his confirmation hearing, that agenda is altogether out of step with what the American people want. That – along with Mr. Buttigieg’s lack of experience on most transportation issues – is why Sen. Cruz opposed his confirmation,” the spokesperson said.
