To the editor: America deserves leaders who prioritize the public good, not those pushing extreme agendas that undermine democracy and harm everyday Americans. The Senate must reject Russ Vought’s nomination as director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
As Trump’s former OMB director, Vought’s track record speaks volumes. He championed budgets proposing massive cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security — programs millions of Americans rely on for their health and well-being. He advocated for reckless brinkmanship around the debt ceiling, risking economic chaos, and his role in crafting Project 2025 reveals a disturbing plan to consolidate executive power and politicize federal institutions.
