NOW PLAYING
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russ Vought will testify before a House Budget Committee panel on Wednesday morning on President Trump’s fiscal 2027 White House budget request.
The request calls for $1.5 trillion in defense spending — roughly 42 percent higher than 2026 — and proposes cutting non-defense spending by $73 billion. The funding cuts, according to the memo, impact “woke, weaponized, and wasteful programs,” and would return some state and local responsibilities “to their respective governments.”
Democrats have already pushed back on the request.
The hearing is scheduled to begin at 10:15 a.m. EDT.
