President-elect Donald Trump promoted four close allies from his campaign to serve as senior staff members in his second administration.
Dan Scavino, Stephen Miller, Hames Blair, and Taylor Budowich will join the Trump White House as assistants to the president after he is inaugurated in January 2025.
KEY DATES FOR THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL TRANSITION
“Dan, Stephen, James, and Taylor were ‘best in class’ advisors on my winning campaign, and I know they will honorably serve the American people in the White House,” Trump said in a statement Wednesday morning. “They will continue to work hard to Make America Great Again in their respective new roles.”
Scavino will serve as deputy chief of staff after serving as a senior adviser to Trump’s presidential campaign.
Miller was previously announced as deputy chief of staff for policy and will also serve as homeland security adviser, sparking congratulations from Vice President-elect J.D. Vance.
Blair is set to serve as Trump’s deputy chief of staff for legislative, political, and public affairs after working on the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee as political director.
Budowich will join the White House as deputy chief of staff for communications and personnel. He previously worked in a senior role in Trump’s leadership PAC, Save America, and as CEO of the pro-Trump super PAC, MAGA Inc.
The announcements further serve as another indicator that Trump will continue to reward loyalists in his orbit with top administration roles.
