SACRAMENTO, Calif. — President-elect Donald Trump is starting to fill key posts in his second administration, putting an emphasis so far on aides and allies who were his strongest backers during the 2024 campaign.
One person who was named to his administration Wednesday has ties to Sacramento – Taylor Budowich. Budowich was named one of Trump’s deputy chiefs of staff.
Budowich is a veteran Trump campaign aide who launched and directed Make America Great Again, Inc., a super PAC that supported Trump's 2024 campaign. He will be deputy chief of staff for communications and personnel and assistant to the president.
Budowich also served as a spokesman for Trump after his first term.
The announcement with Budowich came alongside Dan Scavino, Stephen Miller and James Blair.
“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,” said President Trump. “They will continue to work hard to Make America Great Again in their respective new roles.”
