Fiscal Year 2025 Spending Battles
The upcoming fiscal year 2025 spending battles are shaping up to be significant, especially with Donald Trump's nomination of Russell Vogt as OMB director. Vogt, having previously worked against spending deals made by Democrats, holds the potential to strongly influence government spending from the outset of Trump's second term. The planned approach includes a short-term continuing resolution that could allow for disaster relief funding, setting the stage for intense budget negotiations. This scenario may mirror the prolonged appropriations battles from 2017, raising concerns about how this will affect Trump's 100-day agenda in Congress.
