Russell Vought
Russell Vought is an American attorney and political figure who served as the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under President Donald Trump. A self-described Christian nationalist, Vought has been influential in shaping conservative policy through his work with the Heritage Foundation and his role in Project 2025, which aims to implement a national conservative agenda. His tenure is marked by a commitment to the principle of a 'unitary executive,' which posits that the President holds unilateral power over the federal administration. Vought's confirmation by the Senate signifies a consolidation of executive power and a potential shift in the management of federal funds and agencies.
