Dan Bishop Nominated as Deputy OMB Director

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated North Carolina Rep. Dan Bishop to serve as deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). This announcement follows Bishop's recent loss in the attorney general race to Democrat Jeff Jackson. Trump praised Bishop as a 'tireless fighter' for the 'MAGA Movement' and emphasized his role in implementing a cost-cutting and deregulatory agenda across government agencies. Bishop, who has been part of the House Freedom Caucus, has previously held various elected positions and is recognized for his controversial authorship of House Bill 2. His appointment requires Senate confirmation and will position him under OMB director Russell Vought. Throughout his congressional career, Bishop has consistently aligned himself with Trump's policies and initiatives, including contesting the 2020 election results.
