Despite Democratic tactics to delay the confirmation vote, the Senate confirmed Russell Vought to lead the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
Republicans backed Vought’s nomination, arguing he proved a qualified candidate for the role since he previously held the position during President Donald Trump’s first term. Democrats, however, raised multiple concerns about his nomination and said his views on the Impoundment Control Act, which reinforces that Congress holds the power of the purse, disqualified him from the role.
Democrats held a 30-hour-long protest against Vought's nomination, delivering speeches in the middle of the night on Wednesday in an attempt to delay the confirmation vote.
The Senate, in a chaotic final floor vote on Thursday evening, voted to confirm Vought to lead the OMB, 53 to 47.

The DemonRATS sure are a crybaby bunch of little ahos.
I did not watch any of the Dem Senators’ overnight temper-tantrum, but I expect various GOP Senators had to sit there and preside during the festivities. My thanks to them.
That’s not even close, at least from votes I have seen for years now.
That same percentage owned...53...would give us 231 house members.
That would have been nice.
Maybe CA voting should be held to under 50 days...we lose a lot of “late” house elections there.
Mr. “Project 2025” wins! LOL! That, plus “Fascism!” was the entirety of Kamala’s campaign strategy.
Dems, sotto voce: "He's going to find all of our secret stashes and pipelines!"
They've packed the courts with low IQ colored gals. I don't know if there are many
men left in the appelate courts, just some negro girls with IQs around 65 at best.
The rat have every reason to soil thier undies. The new cabinet members across the board will find out the truth about what they have been doing for decades and what will really happen to them when they do. Im thinking gitmo
It’s a crying shame the democrats can’t do anything about President Trump’s nominees because Harry Reid eliminated the filibuster.
The Toddler Tantrum party
You mean St Fetterman didn’t cross the party line?
IDJITS!
the tantrums help our side
Kash delay is for FBI to go scorched earth destroying evidence for an additional week and for Eptein participants to flee to countries with extradition treaties, but he’ll get through too
Good news!
Major realignment in the U.S. Government.
America’s joy is the DemonRATS’ nightmare. Hillary’s nightmare is now it’s coming to life. The far-left bastards are getting everything they deserve. They ran a crooked ship and now it’s time for them to pay the bill.
Shrek “crossed the line” once when it didn’t matter and it was for show
The Republicans spine held (well except Mitch fell down some stairs).
Lol.
One day at a time with these folks.
The courts trying to micromanage the executive branch is like trying to drive a car when all you have is the passenger seat and the rear view mirror.
You can’t even crash into a wall successfully.
