Senate Budget Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham announced that Russell Vought's nomination to lead the Office of Management and Budget has been approved by the committee. The approval came as Democrats chose to boycott the markup session.
Graham expressed his satisfaction with the unanimous support for Vought's nomination from the Republicans present at the committee meeting. He acknowledged the absence of Democratic members during the markup, stating, 'My Democratic colleagues decided to boycott, which is their right. The markup was short and pleasant. They were missed… Sort of.'
