The confirmation hearing for Russell Vought, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), has commenced. Vought, a key figure in the conservative movement, faces questioning from Senators on the Homeland Security Committee.
Vought played a significant role in crafting Project 2025, a conservative agenda for a potential second term under the Trump administration. Despite initial distancing by Trump during the campaign, Vought's influence was notable as he previously served as budget director and spearheaded deregulation efforts.
