President-elect Donald Trump announced Wednesday that a handful of loyalists from his campaign will join him in the White House as senior aides.
Dan Scavino will serve as deputy chief of staff; Stephen Miller will serve as deputy chief of staff for policy and Homeland Security adviser; James Blair will serve as deputy chief of staff for legislative, political and public affairs; and Taylor Budowich will serve as deputy chief of staff for communications and personnel. All four will also carry the title “assistant to the president.”
The figures are familiar in Trump world and come as the president-elect is quickly naming his closest stalwarts to top roles in his second administration.
“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. “They will continue to work hard to Make America Great Again in their respective new roles.”
