Overview
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Russell Vought to head the Office of Management and Budget for his second term, despite previously distancing himself from Project 2025. Vought, a key architect of the conservative agenda, is recognized for aggressive deregulation efforts. His nomination has sparked backlash from Democrats, who accuse Trump of hypocrisy and warn against potential radical changes to government policies. Vought's past actions in Trump’s first term, particularly regarding diversity training, raise concerns. He must be confirmed by the Senate before assuming the role.
