President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Russell Vought to lead the Office of Management and Budget. Vought previously held this position during Trump's first term and co-authored the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, which proposes significant government reforms. Vought's nomination is pending Senate confirmation. He is known for advocating cost-cutting measures and deregulation, aligning with Trump's agenda to reshape government operations. Project 2025 includes proposals to reduce federal jobs, alter social policies, and abolish the Department of Education. Trump has previously distanced himself from the project’s specific goals.
