Russell Vought, the director of the White house Office of Management and Budget, will soon accept a lot of DOGE workload, including working with Congress To earn back funds, again classify federal employees and promote his proposed budget of 2025 – which would greatly defeat government financing, The Wall Street Journal Reports.
He has already served as the lower partner of Musk and has celebrated the efforts of his own department to defeat the government regulations – noticed that President Trump had sworn to reduce 10 government regulations for everyone who is added.
But the choice will probably get out of indignation DemocratsBecause Vought was one of the most important Architects of Project 2025A hardline conservative manifesto that, according to them, is a blueprint for Trump’s second term.
It called for large cuts on social security and medicine, as well as the abolition of the Ministry of Interior Security.

In the coming months, it is assumed that DOGE will concentrate on regulation in accordance with an executive order in February that heads of government agencies instructed to withdraw ‘illegal regulations’.
Vought is likely to focus attention on what schedule F is called, an executive order that Trump has issued in his first term to eliminate task protection for thousands of federal employees at a high level. The Biden administration blocked the order, but Trump re -introduced it when he recaptured the office in January.
The OMB director is expected to even promote the congress to act on Trump’s $ 9.3 billion reclosure package that would do that try to restore funds from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, USAID, National Public Radio and PBS.
But the same desire to lower the federal budget has brought him into the sights of his fellow republicans.
Vought has made it a priority to limit the increase in military expenses – on direct opportunities with Minister of Defense Pete Hegseeth.
According to Vough’s plan, the increase in military expenditure would only be the result of a process known as budget tuning – instead of Due to the annual budget itselfA proposal whose military expenditures would retain at the current level.
Congress republicans, however, believed that they had received the guarantees of Hegseeth that military expenditures would again increase in the next budget and had been shocked by the White House proposal.
They are now worried that receiving only a one -off boost would remain short in the long term through the reconciliation process – and blame the discrepancy, according to the magazine.

A spokesperson for the Pentagon has insisted on the magazine that increases the proposed budget of the White House the expenditure for the army.
Nevertheless, the spokesperson reportedly refused to answer questions about whether Hegseeth believed that the proposed defense budget of Vought was sufficient or that he insisted on more financing.
In the meantime, Senator Roger Wicker, a Republican from Mississippi who serves as chairman of the Senate Committee for Armed Services, said that he does not believe that is enough if he hit the OMB for doing crazy mathematics.
