Democrats held the Senate floor overnight Wednesday and into Thursday morning to protest the nomination of Russell Vought to lead the Office of Management and Budget.
Cloture was invoked Wednesday afternoon on a 53-47 party-line vote, limiting debate on the Vought nomination to 30 hours. Democrats decided not to yield time and scheduled speakers to keep the floor occupied through the night.
If all the debate time is used, Vought will likely be confirmed around 7 p.m. Thursday.
