Russell Vought, President Donald Trump’s nominee for the Office of Management and Budget, has stirred controversy with his belief that the 2020 election was rigged. In response to a question from Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, Vought stated his belief that the election was not conducted fairly.
The Senate Budget Committee is set to vote on Vought’s nomination on Thursday, with his confirmation likely to raise questions about Trump’s recent actions regarding federal funds. Vought, who previously served as a budget director during Trump’s first term, is known for his role in spearheading a deregulation agenda.
