Democrats are planning to talk all through the night on the Senate floor Wednesday in protest of Russell Vought, President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Budget and Management.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), Sens. Jeff Merkley (Ore.) and Patty Murray (Wash.) are among the Democrats who will be trying to show they’re fighting to stop Vought, a key author of Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation’s far-right policy blueprint for Trump’s second term. Among other things, Project 2025 calls for drastic cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

Vought, if confirmed, will play a key role in overseeing Trump’s policy agenda. As head of the OMB, he would oversee the creation of the president’s budget and review federal programs to make sure they comply with the president’s policies.

There aren’t any Republicans who have said they plan to oppose Vought’s confirmation. On Monday night, every GOP senator voted to advance his nomination on a procedural step.
Democrats’ all-night talk-a-thon will begin at around 2 p.m.
