The Senate voted 74-25 Thursday to confirm John Ratcliffe as head of the Central Intelligence Agency, moving quickly to install another member of President Trump's national security team during his first week in office.

Mr. Ratcliffe was known as a loyalist to the president when he served as director of national intelligence in the final year of the first Trump administration. During his confirmation hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee last week, he promised to lead a more aggressive spy agency.
