Vivek Murthy cleared the Senate over the opposition of the gun lobby. The National Rifle Association objected forcefully to Murthy, who has described gun violence as a public-health problem. Ed O'Keefe and Brady Dennis in The Washington Post.
Murthy won confirmation the day after the second anniversary of the Newtown, Conn. massacre. He was opposed by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who sponsored legislation to restrict gun sales after the shooting and has since come in for criticism from gun-rights advocates. Sarah Mimms in National Journal.
