The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has approved the nomination of Kimberly Guilfoyle to serve as U.S. Ambassador to Greece, moving her one step closer to confirmation.
The committee voted 13 to 9 in favor of advancing Guilfoyle’s nomination. Notably, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, the ranking Democrat on the committee, expressed strong support for Guilfoyle during the proceedings and voted in favor of her confirmation.
The nomination now heads to the full Senate for a final confirmation vote.
The native Californian appeared before the same committee last week, where she was asked and answered questions related to Greek-American relations, US diplomatic goals and the situation in the wider region.
