TL;DR

President Joe Biden has nominated Air Force chief of staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown as the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, making him the first African American to hold the position. Brown, who was confirmed as chief of the Air Force in a 98-0 vote, would be taking over from Army Gen. Mark Milley. Brown's nomination, however, could join more than 200 other senior military nominations which are currently being held up in the Senate.
