The GOP-led Senate confirmed Russell Vought to once again become director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under President Donald Trump after Democrats spent all night into the day protesting the nomination.
On Thursday evening, all Republicans voted in favor of Vought while every Democrat and the independents who caucus with them opposed the Cabinet nominee, resulting in a final 53-47 tally.
“Russ Vought will have the chance to address two key economic issues – cutting burdensome government regulations and addressing excessive spending,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) said in a post to X on Wednesday. “I am confident that he will help lead that charge.”
