YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Russell Vought was a chief architect of the conservative agenda known as Project 2025 - which outlined ways to expand presidential power. During Trump’s first term - Vought tried to reshape the civil service by creating a new class of federal workers - who would be loyal to the president rather than the agency they work for.

He’s also a supporter of what’s known as “Impoundment.”

That’s when a president essentially holds back money that Congress has already approved for a specific purpose.

Democrats were powerless to stop his confirmation - but they took to the Senate floor delivering speech after speech to voice their opposition all night.
