Senate Confirms Project 2025 Co-Author as Budget Director
The Senate confirmed Russell Vought as the next Office of Management and Budget director along party lines, with Democrats unanimously opposing his nomination. Democratic opposition stemmed from Vought’s association with Project 2025, his support for slashing social programs, and his election denialism. Despite their vocal opposition, Democrats lacked the votes to block his confirmation. Republicans, conversely, celebrated the confirmation, anticipating fiscal reforms and regulatory rollbacks under Vought’s leadership. Vought himself expressed gratitude for his confirmation and a readiness to begin work.
