Vice President JD Vance questioned the motives of the U.S. bishops' criticism of President Donald Trump's new immigration policies in a Jan. 26 interview

The U.S. Senate on Thursday confirmed President Donald Trump’s choice of John Ratcliffe to lead the CIA, but Democrats continued to draw out

WASHINGTON — The Senate voted Thursday to confirm John Ratcliffe as the next CIA director, approving the second high-level appointment for the new Trump administration.

I think the US Conference of Catholic Bishops has, frankly, not been a good partner in common sense immigration enforcement,” JD Vance said.

The US Senate has confirmed John Ratcliffe as the new director of the US foreign intelligence agency CIA by a large majority. 74 senators voted for him, 25 against him, including many Democrats. Ratcliffe was then sworn in by Vice President J.

John Ratcliffe was director of national intelligence during Trump's first term and is the first person to have held that position and the top post at the CIA.

With Vice President JD Vance and other allies in power, an emergent Catholic right expands political horizons and raises doubts about church unity.

Republicans rounded out their 53-seat Senate majority on Tuesday with the swearing-in of Jon Husted and Ashley Moody, the two senators replacing Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Vice President J.D. Vance was on hand to cast a tie-breaking vote, unusual in the Senate for Cabinet nominees, who typically win wider support.

Vice President JD Vance has sworn in John Ratcliffe as the nation's CIA director, shortly after the Senate confirmed Ratcliffe on a vote of 74-25.

Former Congressman John Ratcliffe is the nation's new CIA director after the Senate voted 74-25 in favor of his confirmation on Thursday.

Noem will be in charge of executing one of President Trump's biggest priorities in his second term: cracking down on immigration.
