Summary
The Senate confirmed Russell Vought as head of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in a 53-47 vote, despite Democratic opposition.
Vought, a key figure behind Project 2025, advocates consolidating executive power and limiting congressional control over federal funding.
Democrats warn he will help Trump dismantle the government, citing his past role in pausing federal grants.
His think tank supports restricting congressionally appropriated funds, potentially violating the Impoundment Control Act.
The White House confirmed Vought’s involvement in the recent federal funding freeze.

At least this time Democrats all voted against instead of giving their vote for no reason. But yeah, Congress isn’t going to save you.
It would be pretty awkward if they voted for after a night long filibuster
They voted for other nominees. Rubio got 99 votes.
Congress just confirmed a guy that’s gonna take away their power to act as a check on the executive?
Fucking clowns
This nightmare has gone on for 8 years too long
Congress are a bunch of punk ass bitches
This one makes me feel despair.
