With the confirmation of Donald Trump’s director of the Office of Management and Budget Thursday night, the Senate has outpaced itself for the number of Cabinet confirmations completed by this point in time since the George W. Bush administration in 2001.

- Director of the Central Intelligence Agency John Ratcliffe
- Director of the Office of Management and Budget Russ Vought […]
