A second Trump administration would be a turbocharged version of his first term, said former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus in advance of the official kickoff of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Priebus said in a conversation with POLITICO that Trump and his allies would capitalize on their familiarity with the levers of power to enact their policy priorities.
“Whatever Trump wants to do in his agenda, he’s going to have the ability to do it much faster, less clumsy,” Priebus told POLITICO’s Anne McElvoy. “It’s like walking into a new house — after the first two weeks, you know where everything’s at. This is a president that’s going to have people around him, I think they’re going to get things done extremely quickly.”
But Reince downplayed the likelihood of making his own return to the White House after his seven-month stint as Trump’s first chief in 2017.
