The U.S. Senate has confirmed Oklahoma attorney General Scott Pruitt to head the EPA in a party-line 52-46 vote. As attorney general, Pruitt sued the EPA and fought the agency as it tried to regulate the fracking boom in Oklahoma. Democrats attempted to delay the final vote, holding another all-night session to highlight their opposition to his past battles with the regulatory agency he is now tasked to run.
