Russell Vought could expand power of Trump's budget office

The article from MSN discusses Russell Vought, a former Trump administration official who led the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and his potential role in expanding the powers of this office if Trump were to return to the presidency. Vought, now president of the Center for Renewing America, has been vocal about using the OMB to implement conservative policies more aggressively. He advocates for transforming the OMB into a more politically active entity, focusing on reducing the administrative state, promoting conservative social policies, and ensuring that federal agencies align with the president's agenda. His vision includes using the budget process to defund programs that do not align with conservative values, thereby exerting greater control over policy through financial mechanisms. This approach would mark a significant shift from the OMB's traditional role as a neutral arbiter of budget and policy analysis to a more partisan tool for policy enforcement.
