President Donald Trump’s top budget official is reportedly set to take over operations at the Department of Government Efficiency once Elon Musk steps aside.
Russell Vought, the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, will soon take on much of DOGE’s workload, including working with Congress to recoup funds, reclassifying federal workers and advancing his proposed 2025 budget – which would greatly slash government funding, the Wall Street Journal reports.
He has already served as Musk’s lower-profile partner, and has celebrated his own department’s efforts to slash government regulations – noting that President Trump had vowed to cut 10 government regulations for every one that is added.
