Vought, who previously served as OMB Director during Trump's first term, was confirmed to his position in February 2025 by a party-line Senate vote of 53-47. His confirmation came after Democrats held the Senate floor for 30 hours in protest, highlighting concerns about his approach to federal governance.
As a key architect of the conservative Project 2025 policy agenda, Vought has been working to reshape federal agencies by implementing budget cuts and reorganizing the federal workforce. His think tank, the Center for Renewing America, paid him over $542,000 prior to his appointment, according to financial disclosures that estimate his net worth at around $1 million.
In recent days, Vought has been at the center of controversy regarding the administration's efforts to reduce the federal workforce. The White House reported that approximately 40,000 federal employees have accepted resignation offers as part of a broader initiative to streamline government operations. However, labor unions representing federal workers have challenged these measures, leading to a federal judge temporarily blocking the Office of Personnel Management from enforcing resignation deadlines.
Vought's approach to budget management has drawn both praise and criticism. In a recent memorandum dated March 26, 2025, he proposed significant changes to emergency funding designations, prompting pushback from congressional appropriators who accused him of mischaracterizing budget laws.
As OMB Director, Vought oversees the Trump administration's budgetary, policy, and regulatory priorities with considerable influence over federal spending. He has described OMB's role as "the most comprehensive approximation of the president's mind as it pertains to the policy agenda."
Critics, including Senator Mazie Hirono, have expressed concern about Vought's leadership style, describing him as "the ultimate yes-man" with loyalty to the president above other considerations. Meanwhile, supporters value his commitment to fiscal conservatism and government restructuring.
Vought's current focus appears to be implementing the administration's agenda of deregulation, expanding executive authority, and realigning federal resources toward presidential priorities. His actions in the coming weeks are expected to have far-reaching implications for federal agencies and government programs as he continues to advance the administration's vision for reshaping the federal bureaucracy.
