Just hours after the U.S. Senate made history by voting to allow sitting senators to bring babies on the senate floor, Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) officially cast a vote while holding her days-old daughter, Maile.
The vote was to confirm Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-OK) as the Trump administration’s new head of NASA. Duckworth and Maile arrived and officially cast their vote (they vote “no,” for the record) before soaking up some love from Duckworth’s peers.
