WATCH: Sen. Kaine questions OMB chief Vought in Trump budget hearing

Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., questioned Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, in a hearing Thursday held by the Senate Budget Committee.

Vought, a key figure in the Trump administration’s efforts to shrink the federal workforce, also defended the president’s budget request in a House hearing Wednesday.

President Donald Trump’s funding wish list for fiscal year 2027 includes a staggering bump for defense spending — a nearly 50% increase to $1.5 trillion — to build his “dream military.”
