The Senate confirmed former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley by a 50-11 vote on Monday (December 18) to be the Social Security Administration's (SSA) new commissioner.
O'Malley, whom President Joe Biden nominated four months ago, will fill the term expiring on January 19, 2025 of Andrew Saul, whom the president fired more than two years ago and replaced with current Acting Commissioner Kilolo Kijakazi.
