The Senate confirmed Russell Vought to return as head of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after having helmed the agency during the latter half of President Trump’s first term. All 53 Republicans backed Vought as OMB director, while every Democrat (47) opposed Trump’s nominee.

Democrats protested Vought’s nomination overnight Wednesday on the Senate floor, with several referring to him as Trump’s “most dangerous nominee.”

Donald Trump's plans to remake American government center on one man and one agency: Russ Vought and the Office of Management and Budget. Vought, Trump's nominee to lead the agency, is "starting to upend Washington," said The Washington Post.
