McCain Only Republican To Vote Against New White House Budget Director

Mick Mulvaney has been sworn in as director of the White House budget office, but he was only voted in on a tight 51-49 margin.

Senator John McCain was the only Republican to vote against his confirmation.

McCain had previously stated he would vote "no" on Mulvaney, because as a Congressman is South Carolina, Mulvaney had voted to support cuts to Pentagon spending.
