CBS News reports:
Trump has named Russ Vought to lead the Office of Management and Budget. If confirmed, this will be Vought’s second time in the role. He served as OMB director during Trump’s first term, too. Earlier in the Trump administration, Vought was deputy OMB director and acting director.
Before he joined the first Trump White House Vought was vice president of Heritage Action for America, which leads a grassroots effort to implement conservative policies across the U.S. It produces a conservative scorecard that grades members of Congress on their votes on conservative bills.
Vought wrote a chapter of The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 blueprint — his chapter covers the “Executive Office of the President.”

This is William Wolfe, a former Trump official, declaring that “We are getting close” to Christians taking up arms. Until a few days ago, when Politico exposed his extremism, his profile said he was a fellow w/ Russ Vought’s Center for Renewing America, a Project 2025 partner. 1/ pic.twitter.com/oOk2iMwDWC

Trump/Heritage alum Russ Vought is a co-author of Project 2025, a project spearheaded by Heritage. He’s said that he’s proud to work w/Trump/Heritage alum William Wolfe on “scoping out a sound Christian Nationalism.” Wolfe has laid out his vision in stark terms (note item 3): 1/ pic.twitter.com/yDUUnVfsyu
