Senate Democrats are uniting to block — or at least delay — the confirmation process for Russ Vought, the self-described “Christian nationalist” architect of Project 2025, as President Donald Trump’s nominee for Director of the Office of Management and Budget.

Democrats call Russell Vought the president's "most dangerous nominee", but Republicans say he will "stop the waste of US taxpayers' dollars".

Powerless to stop the president or Russell Vought, the nominee to lead the White House budget office, Democrats pulled an all-nighter to show their opposition.

Democratic senators are speaking through the night in protest of Project 2025 co-author Russell Vought’s nomination to lead the Office of Management and Budget. Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Oregon, called him “Donald Trump’s most dangerous nominee” in a speech on the Senate floor.

As head of the Office of Management and Budget, Vought would have the power to implement many of the key aspects of Trump's agenda

Senate Democrats are bracing to stay in the chamber overnight to make the case against the nomination of Russell Vought to serve as the White House’s next budget chief, who is expected to be confirmed later this week.
