Russell Vought sees the Office of Management and Budget as a “nerve center” that can be used to curtail DEI programs and purge the federal workforce of Trump’s perceived enemies.

Democrats call Russell Vought the president's "most dangerous nominee", but Republicans say he will "stop the waste of US taxpayers' dollars".

Vought’s return to the White House Office of Management and Budget, which he also helmed during Trump’s first term, would put him in a role that holds key power in implementing the president’s goals.
