The Senate confirmed Russel Vought as head of the White House Office of Management and Budget, with a 51-45 vote along party lines.

President Trump nominated Vought to the position in March.

He has been in charge of the office since January 2019 when the former director, Mick Mulvaney, was named as the White House chief of staff.

Mulvaney in March was tapped as US special envoy for Northern Ireland, and Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) became chief of staff.

In February 2018, he was confirmed as the deputy director of the OMB after Vice President Mike Pence cast the vote breaking a 49-49 tie.

In the vote Monday, Democrats opposed Vought, 44, because of his role in temporarily blocking foreign aid to Ukraine, the issue at the center of the impeachment investigation.

They also accused him of failing to cooperate in their investigation into Trump’s dealing with Ukraine.
