Photo of the Day: As expected, Edward Walsh has been confirmed as the new United States Ambassador to Ireland. Walsh cleared the last hurdle Wednesday evening when the Senate voted 57 to 38 in favor of the New Jersey businessman. Eight Democrats joined Republicans in confirming Mr. Walsh who, it is expected, will soon take up residence in Dublin's Phoenix Park. The eight Democrats who voted yea were Senators Fetterman, Kaine, King, Klobuchar, Reed, Shaheen, Warner and Welch. 38 Democrats voted Nay. One Democrat and four Republicans were absent from the Senate chamber for the vote.
