WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Barack Obama's pick for U.S. attorney general Loretta Lynch on Thursday passed a procedural vote in the Senate Committee on the Judiciary and was allowed to advance in the Senate for a full-floor confirmation 1 voting later on.
Thursday's vote was 12-8, with favors including three Republicans in the committee backing her nomination 2.
Though Lynch's confirmation hearing began in late January, the voting was postponed 3 by two weeks by the Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee over Republicans' concerns about the nominee's public support for President Obama's contested 2014 executive actions for immigration.
