Trump's OMB Nominee Russell Vought Undergoes Second Day of Senate Budget Committee Hearing
Jan 22, 2025, 03:07 PM
Russell Vought, President Donald Trump's nominee for Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), is undergoing a confirmation hearing before the Senate Budget Committee. The hearing, which marks the second day of Vought's testimony, began at 10 a.m. and is being closely watched as he previously served as OMB director during the last two years of Trump's first administration. If confirmed, Vought would be responsible for overseeing the construction of the president’s budget and reviewing proposed regulations. Senate Democrats, led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, have expressed concerns over Vought's potential impact on programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, with Schumer citing Vought's involvement with Project 2025 as a point of contention. Meanwhile, Republican senators, including Rick Scott, have expressed confidence in Vought's confirmation, citing his previous performance in the Trump administration.
