WASHINGTON, D.C., USA — President Joe Biden nominated former U.S. Senator from Indiana, Joe Donnelly to be the next ambassador to the Vatican.
Donnelly served as a Senator from 2013-2019. Before that, he was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 2007-2013. He was a member of the Afghanistan Study Group and has been a professor at Notre Dame.
The Indiana Democratic Party issued a statement celebrating the nomination. It reads in part:
Senator Joe Donnelly is a man of character, integrity, and faith, and his fundamental belief in the values we cherish as Hoosiers and Americans will make Joe a great fit to serve as Ambassador to the Holy See at the Vatican.
Indiana Democrats couldn't be prouder of Joe, who has time and again looked after those who needed a helping hand while providing a common-sense voice in our politics.
Donnelly is a devout Catholic.
