WASHINGTON — The Senate voted along party lines Thursday to confirm Russell Vought as the next head of the Office of Management and Budget despite fierce pushback from Democrats. Although Democrats have been divided over various Trump nominees, they unified in opposition to Vought.

Senator Chuck Schumer called Vought the ‘most radical nominee, who has the most extreme agenda’ and now heads the ‘most important agency in Washington’

Russell Vought has been confirmed as the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget by the US Senate, despite strong Democratic opposition. Vought, previously holding the same post, is key in Trump’s plan for reshaping the federal government.
