15. Fetterman's and Heinrich's votes here were irrelevant.

Paul was the only Republican to vote No. So, Mullin would have been confirmed regardless.

However, Fetterman voted Yes in committee. If he had voted no, the nomination would have never gone to the floor. That is the vote he should be criticized for.
