The OMB's mandate... is to serve a coordinating role across departments, ensuring that political appointees and bureaucracies alike move toward the president's political vision and goals.

Russell Vought, who has a history of pushing a hard-right political and economic agenda, comes in as a controversial figure at the helm of the OMB.
