1:24Now PlayingGina Raimondo, the Rhode Island governor picked by President Joe Biden to lead the Commerce Department, was sworn in by Vice President Kamala Harris Wednesday.
Raimondo will help guide the economy's recovery during and after the coronavirus pandemic.
The Senate confirmed her on Tuesday by a vote of 84-15.
Raimondo, 49, was the first woman elected governor of Rhode Island and is serving her second term.
She is a Rhodes Scholar and a graduate of Yale Law School who went on to become a venture capitalist before turning to politics.
Raimondo will be responsible for promoting the nation's economic growth domestically and overseas.
Republican opposition to Raimondo's confirmation focused on concerns that she would not be forceful enough in confronting the Chinese government's efforts to gain an economic and technological edge through espionage.
Much of Raimondo's work will be focused on regional economic issues.
The Commerce Department comprises a dozen bureaus and agencies, including the National Weather Service, the U.S. Census Bureau and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Raimondo would oversee the work of more than 40,000 employees.
