The president's pick for U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations has moved forward in the confirmation process. 

The Senate Foreign Relations committee voted in support of Linda Thomas-Greenfield. 

Next will be a full Senate vote, but it's unclear when that will happen. 

Thomas-Greenfield's committee vote was delayed by a day after an objection by Republican Sen. Ted Cruz.
