On May 28, Vought appeared on Fox Business stating that his office is "doing everything we can to make DOGE cuts permanent," signaling a strong commitment to Elon Musk's cost-cutting initiatives. This partnership between Vought and Musk has proven effective, with Musk's team identifying potential areas of government overspending while Vought's OMB provides the procedural framework to implement these reductions.
Just yesterday, Vought released the President's Fiscal Year 2026 "Skinny Budget," a preliminary outline of the administration's spending priorities. During the announcement, Vought emphasized that the President's budget would deliver on campaign promises while addressing fiscal challenges. "The President's Budget does all of that," Vought stated during the May 28 press conference.
The OMB under Vought's leadership has also sparked legal challenges. Last month, Protect Democracy filed a lawsuit against OMB and Vought personally for removing public access to "apportionments" – the legally binding decisions about how federal agencies spend appropriated funds. This action, taken on March 24, directly contradicts a 2022 law requiring transparency in these spending decisions. When questioned, Vought confirmed the agency would no longer comply with this mandate.
Vought's influence extends beyond budget matters. As a key architect of Project 2025, the conservative policy agenda that has been partially implemented since Trump's return to office, Vought has been described as "the glue between Musk and the Republicans." According to tracking websites, 101 of the 313 suggested policy objectives in Project 2025 have already been implemented, with another 64 in progress.
The Senate confirmed Vought as OMB Director earlier this year in a 53-47 vote that fell along party lines. Despite Democratic opposition, Republicans united behind Vought, who previously served in the same role during Trump's first term.
With his confirmation secure and his agenda advancing, Vought appears positioned to significantly reshape federal spending priorities. His actions in the coming weeks will likely determine the fate of numerous government programs and potentially alter the balance of power between the executive branch and Congress regarding federal spending authority.
