Overview

• The Senate approved President Trump's pick in a 51-47 vote as part of a single roll call that advanced more than 100 nominees.
• Rosen will succeed acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson, whose office is prosecuting Feeding Our Future-related fraud cases and the Vance Boelter homicide case.
• The nomination advanced after clearing the Judiciary Committee in mid-September, then passed on the floor where Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith voted against the larger slate.
• Rosen is a Minnesota native and University of Minnesota Law School alumnus with over 30 years in commercial litigation, including a role opening Kluger Kaplan's Minneapolis office.
• Rep. Tom Emmer praised the confirmation, and Rosen was not immediately available for comment because he was observing the Jewish holiday Sukkot.
