Watch: Trump OMB nominee Russell Vought’s confirmation hearing
Russell Vought, President Trump’s nominee to serve as director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), testified Wednesday before the Senate Budget Committee for his confirmation hearing.
Vought was acting OMB director for the final two years of Trump first administration. His nomination appears headed for a party-line vote, with Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) issuing a scathing statement Tuesday night after meeting with Vought.
“Russell Vought’s vision isn’t just reckless,” he wrote on X. “It is downright catastrophic to the economic security of American families.”
Vought’s hearing was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EST.
