The US Senate just confirmed David Brat as ambassador to Australia — filling a 20-month vacancy.

His confirmation (51-47) is part of a broader push to fill over 100 vacant ambassadorial posts after a wave of diplomatic recalls. With Brat’s political flair and podcast-friendly profile, watch how his priorities shape US-Australia relations.
