Russ Vought
Nominee for Director of the Office of Management and Budget
Brief Bio
Vought, born in 1976, is an American former government official who served as the director of the Office of Management and Budget from July 2020 to January 2021. Prior to this role, he held the position of deputy director of the OMB for part of 2018 and acted as the director from 2019 to 2020.
However, after Joe Biden’s election as president, Biden and his transition team accused Vought of obstructing the incoming administration’s transition by refusing to permit incoming Biden officials to meet with OMB staff. Vought vehemently denied these accusations, asserting that his team had already held 45 meetings with the incoming administration before Biden’s inauguration.
In 2021, Vought established the Center for Renewing America, a non-profit organization dedicated to combating critical race theory. He is also involved in Project 2025, a Heritage Foundation-led initiative aimed at reshaping the federal government. In May 2024, Vought was appointed as the policy director of the Republican National Committee’s platform committee.
Vought identifies as a Christian nationalist who advocates for the integration of Christian principles into the government and society. However, he maintains a commitment to an institutional separation between church and state, while acknowledging that Christianity has a significant influence on government and society.
President-elect Trump renominated Vought as the director of the OMB for his second term in office.
