John Ratcliffe's nomination to lead the CIA has advanced out of the Senate Intelligence Committee, as confirmed by Chairman Tom Cotton. The nomination was reported favorably with a vote of 14-3, with all three votes against advancing the nomination coming from Democrats, according to Sen. John Cornyn.
This development marks a significant step in the nomination process for Ratcliffe, who was nominated by President Trump to serve as the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Ratcliffe, a Republican, has previously served as a U.S. Representative for Texas' 4th congressional district.
