John Ratcliffe, President Donald Trump's nominee for Central Intelligence Agency Director, was confirmed to lead the CIA by the Senate on Jan. 23 thanks to an overwhelming bipartisan consensus, making him the second member of Trump's national security team to be approved by the upper chamber of Congress.
The final vote to ratify Ratcliffe as new CIA Director was 74-25, with Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) not voting. Twenty-one members who caucus with Democrats voted along with every present Republican on Thursday.
