President-elect Donald J. Trump has revealed that his inaugural committee will be spearheaded by former U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler of Georgia. The committee, tasked with organizing inaugural events, will be co-chaired by Loeffler and Steve Witkoff, a prominent New York real estate investor.
In a statement, Trump expressed gratitude to the hardworking Americans who supported his 'America First' agenda, leading to his historic election as the 47th President of the United States. The Trump Vance Inaugural Committee aims to commemorate this victory with a celebration of the American people and the nation.
Trump emphasized that the inauguration will mark the beginning of his administration, dedicated to fulfilling promises to 'Make America Great Again.' The president-elect highlighted the significance of the moment in history and tradition, underscoring the commitment to delivering a prosperous future for the nation.
Loeffler's appointment follows Trump's victory in Georgia, securing 16 electoral votes in a closely contested battle against Vice President Harris. Loeffler, a staunch ally of the former president, previously served as a senator and has remained active in conservative politics.
Despite facing allegations of insider trading in 2020, an investigation by the Department of Justice was subsequently dropped. Loeffler has continued to advocate for conservative causes, challenging assertions made by figures like Mark Cuban and launching campaigns to address issues within the justice system.
Her advocacy group, the Greater Georgia 501(c)(4), recently launched a significant ad campaign criticizing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for what they perceive as failures in addressing rising crime rates. The group's efforts aim to highlight the importance of effective law enforcement and public safety.
