President-elect Donald J. Trump has selected Russell T. Vought as his nominee for the Office of Management and Budget, signaling a continuation of efforts to enhance presidential power through Project 2025.
Vought's significant role in Project 2025 was to create a framework for unilateral actions by Trump during his presidency, specifically targeting the reorganization of executive branch institutions.
In a recent interview, Vought articulated a vision for dismantling the independence of regulatory agencies, claiming that such changes would allow for a more direct control by the presidency over federal operations.
Vought's appointment reflects a trend in Trump's administration to prioritize ideological allies who support an agenda of reworking governmental structures to consolidate executive authority.
