Russell Vought, Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, is expected to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after Elon Musk’s resignation.
Vought will oversee federal employee reclassification, collaborate with Congress to recover funds, and push a 2025 budget proposing major government cuts.
A key figure behind Project 2025, Vought supports Trump’s regulatory rollback and reinstating Schedule F, which limits federal worker protections.
His budget plan calls for a \$163 billion cut in nondefense spending, while favoring military funding increases through budget reconciliation, sparking tension with some Republicans.
