President Donald Trump's decision to nominate Russell Vought as head of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has been met with opposition from Democrats.

Yet Trump wracked up another win this week when the Senate moved one step closer to confirming Vought.

Democrats threatened to hold all night session in protest of Vought's nomination

According to The Hill, senators voted 53 to 47 in favor of limiting debate on Vought's nomination on Wednesday. That move came after Democrats had promised to occupy the Senate all night in protest.

"We’re going to have more than 35 United States senators on the Democratic side, opposing Russ Vought’s nomination," Hawaii Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz said in a video he posted to social media.

The Hill noted that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer spoke up as well, insisting that "all 47 Democrats" will take a stand against Vought.

"And we will take the floor early this afternoon and spend the whole night discussing how bad this nomination is and how it badly affects working families," the New York Democrat declared.

Vought's nomination enjoys widespread support among Republican senators

However, Vought enjoys widespread support from Republican lawmakers, including North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis, who told The Hill that he is expecting to vote in favor of his confirmation.

"Any nominee who gets unanimous consent out of committee of Republicans I’m supporting, subject to any kind of change or additional information, like I had to do with Pete Hegseth," the senator explained

"Generally speaking, I got to defer to people that have staff and access to information I don’t have about the nominee," he added.

Also promoting Vought was North Dakota Republican Sen. John Hoeven. He said, "We worked with Russ in the first administration, and I work with him a lot on a whole range of issues, and he was good to work with."

Senate majority leader says Vought will cut regulations and excessive spending

Hoeven went on to declare that he has "a good working relationship" with Vought and believes that this relationship is likely to continue.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune is also championing Vought's confirmation as well, something he discussed with the Associated Press.

Thune argued that Vought "will have the chance to address two key economic issues — cutting burdensome government regulations and addressing excessive spending."
