President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Congressman Dan Bishop of North Carolina as Deputy Director for Budget at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Bishop, described as a 'MAGA fighter', is retiring from the House next year after losing the North Carolina Attorney General race to Rep. Jeff Jackson. His appointment won't affect the GOP majority in the House. The announcement comes as Trump assembles his administration team, with Bishop joining Russ Vought as director and Mark Paoletta as general counsel, forming what some have called a 'Dream Team' of no-nonsense budget experts to implement Trump's America First agenda.
