President-elect Donald Trump says Russell Vought will return as director of the Office of Management and Budget director in his new administration.
Vought will lead the powerful office tasked with reviewing federal regulations and developing the president’s budget, Trump said in a post on his social media platform. “He did an excellent job serving in this role in my First Term,” the president-elect said. “We cut four Regulations for every new Regulation, and it was a Great Success!
Vought was a prominent contributor to the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 initiative to draft proposals for a second Trump administration.
