Trump taps Russ Vought, one of the authors of Project 2025, to lead budget office again

President-elect Donald Trump is expected to name Russ Vought to lead the Office of Management and budget, according to two sources close to the transition. 

If confirmed, this will be Vought's second time in the role. He served as OMB director during Trump's first term, too.

Vought wrote a chapter of The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 blueprint — his chapter covers the "Executive Office of the President."
