President-elect Donald Trump‘s selection of Russell Vought as the incoming administration’s budget chief illustrates Trump’s “total” commitment to curbing government spending and eliminating waste, according to allies.
Trump nominated Vought to serve as director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, the same post he held for the latter part of Trump’s first year in office, dubbing him an “aggressive cost cutter and deregulator.”
“Russ knows exactly how to dismantle the Deep State and end Weaponized Government, and he will help us return Self Governance to the People,” Trump wrote when announcing Vought’s selection. “We will restore fiscal sanity to our Nation, and unleash the American People to new levels of Prosperity and Ingenuity.”
