The Democrats had a showy tantrum on Thursday, but Republicans got their business done regardless.
The Senate Budget Committee voted 11-0 to send the nomination of Russell Vought to lead the Office of Management and Budget to the full Senate, according to The Hill.
Democrats, who found time to hold a media event denouncing Vought, boycotted the committee meeting.
The Democratic boycott was linked in part to their objections to the nominee and also to anger over an OMB memo earlier this week that proposed to freeze grant funding, pending a review of hundreds of federal grant programs.
Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno of Ohio chastised Democrats who boycotted the vote, calling their action “extraordinarily juvenile.”
“This isn’t ‘High School Musical’ here. You know the serious business, United States Senate, for them to take their toys home and leave the playground is just really ridiculous. You know, these are old men. Honestly, it’s just very, very pathetic to see them doing that,” he said.
