Mr. Vought, an architect of Project 2025 who served in the first Trump administration, will be at the center of President Trump’s plans to upend the federal bureaucracy.

The recent confirmation of Russell Vought as the head of the White House Office of Management and Budget raises significant concerns for the Trump administration, the Republican party, and the United States as a whole.

The Senate confirmed Russell Vought to return as head of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after having helmed the agency during the latter half of President Trump’s first term. All 53 Republicans backed Vought as OMB director, while every Democrat (47) opposed Trump’s nominee.
