Russell Vought previously served as the director of the Office of Management and Budget during President Donald Trump's first administration.
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. Diana Stancy is a politics reporter with Fox News Digital covering the White House.
The Senate, in a chaotic final floor vote on Thursday evening, voted to confirm Vought to lead the OMB.
