Dems Delaying Vote for OMB Nominee

The #Senate invoked cloture on the nomination of Russell Vought to be Director of the Office of Management & Budget on a party line vote of 53-47.
There are now up to 30 hours of post cloture debate before a confirmation vote. IF all time is used, that would mean 7:00pm Thursday

Every single Senate Democrat will vote against Russell Vought, the Trump nominee for OMB and chief architect of the ultra-right Project 2025.

We are holding the floor of the United States Senate overnight to expose how Project 2025 is the Trump White House agenda.

Narrator: absolutely nobody was "waiting up" to watch her pointlessly stall President Trump's cabinet https://t.co/ABbGMFmXpR

Just finished 3 hours of speaking on the floor - I took the 2-5am shift in Democrats’ effort to hold the floor all night in protest over OMB nominee Russel Vought.

My voice is shot but I’m going on IG live right now at @senchrismurphy to talk about why tonight is important.

Starting last night, @SenateDems have been holding the Senate floor to speak out against President Trump’s dangerous OMB nominee, Russell Vought, and to highlight the harm he will inflict on American families.

How terrible of a nominee is Russell Vought, Trump’s pick to run the office of Management and Budget? pic.twitter.com/qfKfZyfBzT

I spoke for an hour on the Senate floor to hold up the nomination of Project 2025 architect Russ Vought.

Americans voted each of us into office to fight for them.

Chaos. Corruption. Confusion.

Before his nomination was even voted on, Russell Vought orchestrated President Trump's funding freeze. Alongside @SenateBudget, I'm leading the charge against his nomination. pic.twitter.com/vNGcWNaMwi

BREAKING: The filibuster has been broken for Russ Vought's confirmation!

The Senate will soon vote to confirm him!

Russ at the OMB is like kryptonite to Democrats.
