At OMB, some head for exit ahead of Trump, Vought
- Several staffers with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) are heading for the exits before President-elect Trump takes office, two sources familiar with the matter told The Hill, amid concerns that the incoming administration plans to prioritize loyalty and upend government agencies.
The article from MSN discusses the transition at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as the Trump administration prepares for a potential second term. Key points include the departure of several OMB officials, with some leaving due to the expected changes in leadership and policy direction under Trump's former OMB Director Russell Vought, who is likely to return if Trump wins the election. Vought, known for his conservative fiscal policies and confrontational approach with Congress, has already started to influence the OMB by placing allies in key positions. This has led to concerns among current staff about the future direction of the agency, with some choosing to exit preemptively. The article highlights the tension between maintaining institutional knowledge and the incoming administration's desire for a swift policy shift, potentially affecting budget processes and government operations.
