Trump nominates Russell Vought to lead Office of Management and Budget

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 outlines conservative policy goals. Vought's nomination is pending Senate confirmation. He is known for advocating cost-cutting measures and deregulation, aiming to implement Trump's "America first" agenda across government agencies. Project 2025 proposes significant changes, including cuts to federal jobs and programs, and increased political appointments. Trump has previously distanced himself from the project, stating he was not involved with its objectives.
