President-elect Donald Trump is expected to nominate Russ Vought for a second term as OMB director. Vought is closely associated with Project 2025, a controversial conservative agenda aiming to expand presidential powers and implement significant policy changes. His potential appointment raises questions about the administration's commitment to the project, which includes cutting welfare programs and redefining immigration policies. Trump's team has been actively securing positions for Project 2025 contributors, indicating a strong alignment with its proposals despite Trump's earlier efforts to distance himself from them. Senate confirmation remains uncertain.
