This is an interesting, unexpected nomination of Mr. Bishop to be Deputy Director beneath Russ Vought. Perhaps his legal mind will enable him to see what spending reductions are possible without congressional action. This project obviously is already underway, but as a solid conservative, he can be an asset toward this end.
Trump tried to ally himself with the establishment GOP during his first term. After having gotten burnt by doing so, he is now joining forces with more solid conservatives:
Great catching up with my good friend and President Trump’s nominee for Deputy Director of the OMB, @RepDanBishop.

Dan has my full support. I’m confident he will do an incredible job working with the President to get our country and economy back on track. pic.twitter.com/WWFUTWYwQY
Great choice. If the talent is out there , by all means, use it.
I agree, Fred. And I am glad Bishop’s talents are being utilized. He is a good guy, and I expect he will do the right thing.
