Trump Taps Project 2025 Architect Russell Vought for OMB Role
TL;DR
Russell Vought, a key figure behind Project 2025, is advocating for Donald Trump to use recess appointments to bypass the US Senate's confirmation process for key administration positions, including his own potential reappointment as head of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought's thinktank, the Center for Renewing America, argues that the constitution allows for such appointments, despite criticism from some conservatives. This strategy is part of a broader plan to consolidate executive power and reshape the federal government if Trump is re-elected.
