John Ratcliffe has been confirmed as the new director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), making him the second from President Donald Trump's cabinet to be confirmed, after the new head of the US State Department, Marco Rubio.

Ratcliffe's full Senate confirmation came after a 14-3 vote by the Senate Intelligence Committee on Monday night, which advanced Ratcliffe's nomination to the Senate floor on Thursday. By a vote of 74-25, Ratcliffe was confirmed.

Ratcliffe previously served as Trump's Director of National Intelligence (DNI) from May 2020 to January 2021, during the president's first term in office. During that time, Ratcliffe faced scrutiny over whether he was adequately qualified for the role and whether his loyalty to Trump might cloud his judgment. Ratcliffe's eventual appointment was approved along party lines.

Prior to Ratcliffe's role as DNI, he was a member of the House of Representatives since 2015, serving Texas' 4th Congressional District. During Ratcliffe's term in Congress, he served on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence from 2019 until his transition to DNI the following year.

Ratcliffe's confirmation this time has received support from some Democrats, including from the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee, Rep. Mark Warner of Virginia, who voted in favor of Ratcliffe's confirmation.
