Wave of Career Civil Servants Exit Ahead of Russell Vought

“Even before he takes the reins at the White House budget office, Russell Vought has started trying to remake Washington,” the Washington Post reports.

“He has promised to pursue stark spending cuts, and he’s signaled support for wresting some powers of the purse away from Congress. He’s proposed vast changes to Medicaid and other safety-net programs, and he’s redoubled his commitment to purging the federal workforce, triggering a quiet, early exodus of career civil servants.”
