WASHINGTON — The Senate voted along party lines Thursday to confirm Russell Vought as the next head of the Office of Management and Budget despite fierce pushback from Democrats. Although Democrats have been divided over various Trump nominees, they unified in opposition to Vought.

Senate Republicans say they'll move forward with their own plan to approve key parts of the Trump agenda beginning next week, amid House delays.

The Republican-controlled Senate is moving forward with its own budget bill instead of waiting for their colleagues in the House, where Capitol Hill spending bills typically begin.
