President-elect Donald Trump on Friday named Russell Vought, a co-author of Project 2025 who served as a platform policy director for the Republican National Committee, as his pick to lead the Office of Management and Budget.
Russell Vought, then-acting director of the Office of Management and Budget, during a hearing in Washington in 2020.
If he is confirmed by the Senate, Vought would oversee budget and the execution of Trump's policies across executive departments and agencies.
Vought previously served as director of the Office of Management during Trump's first term.
He assumed the role after working as deputy director and acting director of that office before his Senate confirmation in July 2020.
