Washington, November 25 (RHC)-- U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has picked Project 2025 co-author Russell Vought to lead the White House Office of Management and Budget again. 

Vought helped draft the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 blueprint to radically reshape federal agencies. 

During the campaign, Trump pretended to distance himself from Project 2025, but he is now tapping its authors for key posts.

Over the weekend, Trump announced a number of other Cabinet and high-level positions, including billionaire hedge fund manager Scott Bessent to be treasury secretary. Bessent once worked for George Soros but has since embraced Trump’s use of tariffs and push for deregulation. 

For labor secretary, Trump tapped Congressmember Lori Chavez-DeRemer, one of the few Republican lawmakers to support the PRO Act, which would make it easier for workers to unionize.
