The Senate confirmed former GOP Rep. Billy Long to lead the IRS, where he would be responsible for implementing the major new tax legislation Republicans are hoping to enact and overseeing cuts to budgets and the workforce initiated by the Department of Government Efficiency.
The Senate voted 53-44 on Thursday to confirm Long, President Donald Trump’s nominee for IRS commissioner. No Democrats joined Republicans in voting to confirm Long.
