flag Russell Vought is centralizing presidential power over federal spending and operations, sparking concerns about executive overreach.

flag Russell Vought, Trump’s White House budget director, is advancing a quiet but significant push to expand presidential power, aiming to restore executive control over spending, hiring, and independent agencies since the Nixon era. flag After being sidelined during Trump’s first term and under Biden, Vought has reasserted influence following disruptions caused by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, which bypassed his planned budget cuts. flag With Musk’s influence waning, Vought is implementing detailed reforms that centralize authority in the presidency, enabling unilateral actions on federal operations. flag His efforts, backed by MAGA allies, are reshaping federal governance and raising concerns about diminishing checks on executive power as the government nears a potential shutdown.
