Vought's role has expanded considerably since his Senate confirmation on February 6, 2025, when lawmakers voted 53-47 along party lines to approve his nomination. As a key architect of the controversial Project 2025 policy agenda, Vought's influence extends beyond traditional budget management into broader governmental restructuring.
The Director recently made headlines when he shared a memorandum with President Trump on March 24, 2025, which was subsequently criticized by Democratic lawmakers for allegedly mischaracterizing laws. This exchange highlights the ongoing tension between the OMB and Congress regarding federal spending authority.
With an estimated net worth of around $1 million according to financial disclosures released prior to his February appointment, Vought received a substantial salary and bonus of $542,204 from his think tank, the Center for Renewing America, before returning to government service.
Critics, including progressive organizations like the Center for American Progress, have expressed concern that Vought's implementation of Project 2025 could fundamentally reshape federal governance by concentrating power in the executive branch at the expense of traditional checks and balances.
Vought's public statements indicate he views OMB as "the best, most comprehensive approximation of the president's mind as it pertains to the policy agenda," suggesting a close alignment with Trump's priorities. His tenure thus far has been marked by efforts to expand OMB's influence across federal agencies.
The administration's attempted freeze of congressionally approved funds earlier this year drew significant controversy before court intervention. Democratic senators have criticized Vought for prior statements expressing hostility toward federal employees, including comments that they should be "put in trauma" and "viewed as villains."
As OMB director, Vought now oversees the administration's budgetary, policy, and regulatory priorities, with particular emphasis on evaluating government programs for potential improvements or cuts and ensuring agencies follow the administration's directives and presidential executive orders.
