John Michael "Mick" Mulvaney, born July 21, 1967, is an American politician who is serving in President Donald Trump's cabinet as both the Director of Operations and Budget (OMB) and Acting White House Chief of Staff.

Mulvaney, a Republican, served as the acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) from November 2017 to December 2018. Mulvaney served in the South Carolina General Assembly from 2007 to 2011, first in the state House of Representatives and then the State Senate.

He served as a US Representative from 2011 to 2017.

President-elect Donald Trump nominated him as the OMB's director in December 2016 and confirmed by Senate vote (51–49) on February 16, 2017.Mulvaney was known for his support for fiscal conservatism as a congressman.

However, as OMB President, he oversaw an increase in the deficit.

Both expenditure increases and tax cuts resulted in the deficit, which was unexpectedly high for a period of economic growth.

Mulvaney said "nobody cares" about the deficit in a forthcoming State of the Union address in 2019.

Mulvaney, a vocal critic of the CFPB, was adamant critic of the institution during session, but the bureau's tenure as Acting Director of Staff resulted in a significant reduction in enforcement and regulatory authority.

In a White House press conference held on October 17, 2019, Mulvaney said that the White House had withheld military assistance in part until Ukraine investigated an unsubstantiated suspicion that Ukraine, not Russia, was behind hacking Democratic Party emails in 2016.

Early career

Mulvaney worked with James, McElroy, and Diehl from 1992 to 1997. Mulvaney joined his family's homebuilding and real estate companies. He was involved in the Harvard Business School's Owners and Presidents Management Program. He was a minority shareholder and operator of Fresh Cantina, a privately owned regional restaurant chain in Salsarita, and was a minority shareholder and operator.

In 2006, Mulvaney was elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives.

In 2008, an unexpected resignation filled a vacancy in the South Carolina Senate. Mulvaney served on the Judiciary, Commerce/Industry, Medical Affairs, Agriculture/Natural Resources, and Corrections Committees while in the state Senate. In 2006, the Palmetto Family Council named him the Freshman Legislator of the Year for his work on the Woman's Ultrasound Right to Know Act, which mandated doctors to perform ultrasounds on pregnant women seeking abortions and alert them of their gestational age before performing the procedure.

In 2010, he was named Legislator of the Year for his advocacy of the state's Emergency Medical Services (EMS). The South Carolina Club for Growth has given him one of the few A+ ratings in the entire legislature.

Subsequent career

Mulvaney resigned as head of staff, but the position had not been vacant since Trump's assumption. His swearing-in was postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak, which also stopped him from flying to Northern Ireland as envoy in July 2020. He was sworn in via a FaceTime call on May 1, 2020, because of social distancing limitations.

The Wall Street Journal published an op-ed by Mulvaney in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election; after Joe Biden won the election and Trump did not concede, Politico named Mulvaney's forecast one of the year's most audacious, nay, and spectacularly inaccurate forecasts.

Following the riots in Washington, 2021, Mulvaney resigned as the special envoy for President-elect Joe Biden, who raged the Senate Capitol building in protest against his confirmation of his Electoral College win. Mulvaney's resignation was principled, according to a CNBC reporter: "We didn't sign up for what you saw last night." We've signed up for lower taxes and less regulation to make America great once more. Trump was "not the same as he was eight months ago," he said. Others in the administration believed they expected to resign, while others planned to keep Trump's position filled with "someone worse" during his last two weeks in office.

Mulvaney was considered a potential replacement for Kay Coles James as President of The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, in 2021.

CBS News' Mulvaney was hired as a paid on-air contributor in March 2022. The choice, according to CBS News co-president Neeraj Khemlani, was part of a deliberate move to recruit more Republican commentators: "Being able to ensure we are getting access to both directions of the aisle is a priority because we know the Republicans will take over in the midterms." According to Mulvaney's work in the Trump administration and its hostile tone toward the news media, the decision was controversial among network employees, according to the Washington Post.
