President Donald Trump announced on Monday that Russell Vought, the current director of the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB), will take on a leadership role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), succeeding billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk. The transition comes as Musk, who has co-led DOGE alongside former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy since its inception, prepares to step down from his role as a special government employee. Vought, a seasoned conservative political operative and key architect of the controversial Project 2025, is tasked with locking in many of the cost-cutting and deregulatory measures initiated under Musk and Ramaswamy’s leadership.
