Republican Sen. Thom Tillis recently discussed the early stages of the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with Vivek Ramaswamy, one of its leaders. The conversation revolved around exploring possibilities and priorities for the department's future actions.
One of the primary focuses of the department is expected to be on reviewing regulations and rules that have been recently issued by the Biden administration. Tillis emphasized the importance of considering both quick wins and longer-term initiatives that may require legislative support.
Tillis highlighted the opportunity to reclaim authority from the White House by acting on these regulations. He mentioned the intention to utilize any federal funds saved from scaling back regulations to support Republican priorities.
During the discussion, there was no mention of potential conflicts of interest that could arise, particularly concerning topics like electric vehicles.
