Vought: Mass firings will begin ‘in a day or two’

The Trump administration has threatened to inflict maximum pain on Democrats during the shutdown.

OMB chief Russ Vought told House Republicans on a private call Wednesday that the administration will start mass reduction in force moves, or firings, of federal workers “in a day or two,” according to four people granted anonymity to describe the call.

Vought and President Donald Trump have both threatened to inflict maximum pain on Democrats during the shutdown as Senate Republicans hope to peel off additional Democrats in the coming days to vote for the GOP-led stopgap to end the standoff. A bipartisan group of senators also discussed several early off-ramp ideas on the floor earlier Wednesday.

Hill GOP leaders have been wary of embracing Trump’s promises to slash federal workers and “benefits” during the shutdown, especially given the blowback some Republicans in competitive districts will face.

Snip...

Overall, Vought didn’t provide a lot of details for House Republicans during the call. “He was surprisingly vague on everything,” said another person with direct knowledge of it.

Also on Wednesday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters at a briefing that the federal layoffs would happen “very soon.” Democrats, she claimed, are forcing the administration’s hand — and are at fault for the upcoming upheaval.
