Vance Holds DOGE Savings Press Conference With Musk and Vought
Vice President JD Vance held a White House press conference on March 10, 2025, alongside DOGE advisor Elon Musk and OMB Director Russell Vought, announcing that DOGE had identified $105 billion in spending reductions. The figure combined confirmed contract cancellations, projected future savings, and reclassified spending items; the GAO and independent budget analysts subsequently noted that the administration's savings accounting used methodologies that differed from standard federal auditing practice in ways that inflated the totals.
