Senate confirms McDonough as next Veterans Affairs secretary February 8 Veterans Affairs Secretary nominee Denis McDonough speaks during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs on Jan. 27, 2021. (Sarah Silbiger/Pool via AP) Senate lawmakers approved Denis McDonough as the next Veterans Affairs secretary on Monday, making him only the second non-veteran ever confirmed to lead the department. McDonough, who served as White House Chief of Staff under former President Barack Obama, was tapped by President Joe Biden to lead the massive veterans agency in a bid to streamline operations and reduce bureaucracy. “I understand how to untangle and solve large, complex challenges, both across and within large agencies,” he told members of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee during his confirmation hearing last month.
