Russell Vought’s nomination to be White House budget director will advance to the Senate floor despite a last-minute move by Senate Democrats to boycott his committee vote. Republican members of the Senate Budget Committee voted unanimously to advance Vought’s nomination as Democrats protest a now-rescinded funding freeze by the Trump administration.

Rachel Maddow points out how Senate Democrats are using their power in the minority to boycott Trump's OMB pick Russell Vought's committee vote.

Despite the boycott, Russell Vought's nomination advanced and moves to the Senate for an upcoming confirmation hearing.
