Trump Confirmed Project 2025 Author as White House Budget Director

Trump nominated Project 2025 author Russel Vought as White House Budget Director/Office of Management and Budget (OMB) despite disavowing Project 2025 during his campaign.

Our Analysis

During his campaign, Trump disavowed Project 2025 but is now enacting it now that he's in power. Trump nominated 2025 author Russel Vought to White House Budget Director/Office of Management and Budget (OMB) director, and he's now been confirmed. This means that the Project 2025 author will have direct control of the performance of federal agencies and administering the federal budget.

What the "other side" did

Obviously, the Biden Administration did not nominate anyone involved with Project 2025 to oversee and control large swaths of the federal government.

Kamala Harris did, however, correctly warn that this was going to happen, despite Republicans and Donald Trump denying their involvement.
