Vice President JD Vance swore in John Ratcliffe as the next CIA director under President Trump's administration. This comes after the Senate voted 74-25 to approve the former congressman.

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.

He has offered a vision for a more aggressive spy agency, and his focus on the threat from China is widely shared by Republican and Democratic lawmakers.
