Russ Vought nominated to lead Office of Management and Budget amid bipartisan debate

theweek.com — February 4, 2025 at 09:00 PM UTC

Russ Vought is nominated to lead the Office of Management and Budget, a key agency for implementing Donald Trump's government plans. Vought's past actions include efforts to reshape federal bureaucracy and limit funding for certain programs. Democrats oppose Vought's nomination, calling him "appalling" and expressing concerns about his views on federal funding laws. They worry he may not follow established laws regarding budgetary spending. Despite Democratic opposition, most Senate Republicans support Vought's confirmation. Some GOP senators have raised concerns about his stance on budget authority, but overall, Vought is expected to be confirmed quickly.
