参议院74票对25票确认拉特克利夫出任中央情报局局长
美国联邦参议院2025年1月23日在首都华盛顿以74票赞成、25票反对，确认 John Ratcliffe 出任中央情报局（CIA）局长。Ratcliffe 是特朗普总统第二任期开始后第二位获得参议院确认的内阁级提名人，仅次于1月20日获一致确认的国务卿鲁比奥；确认数小时后，他由副总统万斯主持宣誓就职。
Ratcliffe 曾在特朗普第一任期的最后数月担任国家情报总监，此前任得克萨斯州联邦众议员。他由此成为美国历史上首位先后担任国家情报总监与中央情报局局长的人。
参议院情报委员会1月20日以14票对3票将提名送交全院。Ratcliffe 在1月15日的确认听证会上表示，中情局必须在运用技术对抗对手方面做得更好。多名民主党参议员对他能否保持情报工作客观性提出质疑，参议员 Chris Murphy 曾反对以快速程序处理该提名，使确认表决由原定的周二推迟至周四；参议院少数党领袖舒默当日表示将投反对票。

Senate Confirms John Ratcliffe as CIA Director, 74 to 25
The U.S. Senate in Washington voted 74 to 25 on January 23, 2025, to confirm John Ratcliffe as director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Ratcliffe was the second Cabinet-level nominee of President Donald Trump's second term to win Senate confirmation, after Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was confirmed unanimously on January 20. Hours after the vote, Ratcliffe was sworn in by Vice President JD Vance.
Ratcliffe served as director of national intelligence in the final months of Trump's first term and previously represented Texas in the U.S. House. He became the first person to have held both the director of national intelligence post and the top job at the CIA.
The Senate Intelligence Committee advanced the nomination to the full Senate on January 20 by a vote of 14 to 3. At his January 15 confirmation hearing, Ratcliffe said the CIA had to do better at using technology to confront adversaries. Several Democratic senators questioned whether he would keep intelligence work objective, and Senator Chris Murphy objected to handling the nomination under a fast-track agreement, delaying the confirmation vote from Tuesday to Thursday. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he would vote no.
