Russell Vought is expected to be appointed by President-elect Donald Trump as the director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). This would mark Vought's second term in the role, having previously served during Trump's first term. Vought played a significant role in Project 2025, a conservative initiative aimed at restructuring the executive branch. Despite Trump distancing himself from the project during his campaign, several key figures from it are being considered for cabinet positions. If confirmed, Vought would focus on reducing federal regulations and expenditures. He plans to collaborate with figures like Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk to establish a new Department of Government Efficiency, aiming to streamline federal operations.
