Senate Republicans confirm Russell Vought as budget chief

Another Senate confirmation that was a long time coming: Russell Vought. He’ll be leading the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). This was not someone the Democrats wanted to see taking this position. Their crazy efforts to delay the confirmation included a protest that was 30 hours long during which they delivered speeches long into the night on Wednesday. But in the end, Vought was confirmed, 53 to 47, according to Fox News.

“My view of the position is that you come into an administration and you do what the president ran on, what the president’s viewpoints are, and you take that view point and you dispense it throughout the agency,” said Vought during the hearing. 

No wonder the leftists are terrified of him and put up a 30-hour fight.
