President-elect Donald Trump made significant announcements on Monday regarding the appointment of three key directors to the White House offices. These appointments are aimed at strengthening the administration's legislative, political, and public liaison functions.
James Braid has been selected to serve as the Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of the Office of Legislative Affairs. Trump highlighted Braid's extensive experience, including his role as Vice President-elect JD Vance's lead policy staffer and his previous work in legislative affairs at the Office of Management and Budget during Trump's first term.
Matt Brasseaux, who previously served as the deputy political director for the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee, will now assume the position of Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of the Office of Political Affairs. Trump emphasized Brasseaux's successful management of operations in key battleground states such as Arizona and Nevada.
Alex Latcham, a long-time Trump aide with eight years of experience, has been appointed as the Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of the Office of Public Liaison. Latcham's most recent role was as the senior deputy political director for the Trump campaign and RNC.
These appointments reflect Trump's focus on assembling a team with a diverse set of skills and experiences to effectively manage legislative matters, political strategies, and public engagement initiatives within the White House. The newly appointed directors are expected to play crucial roles in advancing the administration's agenda and priorities in the coming term.
