President Donald Trump on Tuesday nominated veteran Senate and White House aide Eric Ueland to the top management post at the White House budget office.
If confirmed by the Senate, Ueland would serve as deputy director for management at the Office of Management and Budget. That is one of the top three posts at the agency, along with deputy director, serving under OMB Director Russ Vought.
Former Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., nominated as deputy director of OMB by Trump, faces a Senate Budget Committee vote on his nomination Wednesday. The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee approved his nomination in February.
