So this guy is the brains behind the operation!
Trump’s nominee for Director of Office of Management and Budget

Despite his relatively short time in office, Vought made a big impact and demonstrated what the OMB can achieve with the right leadership. It was Vought who controversially redirected funds from the Pentagon to the border wall after Congress rejected Trump funding proposal. It was Vought who delayed military aid to Ukraine to pressure the Ukrainian government to criminally investigate Joe and Hunter Biden. It was Vought who was the major advocate for Schedule F (now Schedule C/P)—the policy which makes career civil servants more easily removable by the President. When Biden won the 2020 election, it was Vought who deliberately tried to stall and sabotage the transition. Vought demonstrated how powerful the OMB can be.
After leaving office, Vought became more ideologically driven. He founded his own Christian Nationalist organisation, the Center for Renewing America, which aimed to “renew a consensus of America as a nation under God" and keep the Trump political movement alive. While working with his organisation, he also wrote the section on EOs for the Project 2025 policy agenda. Privately, he led the effort to write the 180-day playbook[1] for the next Trump administration which has still not been made public. In 2024, recordings were leaked of Vought admitting that he had already drafted hundreds of EOs and regulations for the President, including one outlining the mass deportation of over 20 million people.

The protest comes as Democrats have ramped up attacks on Vought, with some describing him as Trump’s “most dangerous nominee” in light of Trump’s executive orders seeking to freeze funds already approved by Congress.
In hearings, Democrats have needled Vought on executive spending powers and his ties to Project 2025, the conservative blueprint produced by the Heritage Foundation that was often the target of Democratic attacks during the 2024 presidential election cycle.
