WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Senate on Tuesday confirmed Jared Bernstein as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) in a 50-49 vote, elevating a longtime adviser to President Joe Biden who began his career as a jazz musician and social worker. Biden nominated Bernstein, who was already a member of the council, on Feb. 14 to replace CEA chair Cecilia Rouse when she returned to Princeton University. Democratic Senator Joe Manchin was the sole Democrat to vote against Bernstein, saying he objected to the labor economist's economic philosophy and his refusal to embrace 'necessary federal budget cuts.

A federal judge on Wednesday ordered Texas to move a large floating barrier to the bank of the Rio Grande after protests from the U.S. and Mexican governments over Republican Gov. Greg Abbott's latest tactic to stop migrants from crossing America's southern border.
