President-elect Donald Trump has made significant appointments to key communications positions in his incoming administration. Steven Cheung, the campaign's spokesman, has been named as the White House communications director, while Karoline Leavitt, the national press secretary, will serve as the White House press secretary.
Cheung's appointment as communications director is notable due to the high turnover in the position during Trump's first term. With six individuals holding the title under seven different stints, Cheung's appointment brings stability to the role. He is known for his unwavering support of Trump and previously served as director of strategic response.
Leavitt, currently the Trump-Vance transition spokeswoman, has a strong background in communications and has actively defended Trump during the campaign. Her experience as an assistant press secretary during Trump's first term will be valuable in her new role as White House press secretary.
Both Cheung and Leavitt have received praise from Trump for their communication skills and dedication to the administration's goals. Trump has expressed confidence in Leavitt's ability to effectively convey the administration's message to the American people.
Trump ally Sergio Gor has also been appointed as assistant to the president and director of presidential personnel. Gor, a trusted advisor to Trump since his 2016 campaign, has played a key role in promoting America First principles.
These appointments underscore Trump's commitment to building a strong communications team as he prepares for his second term in office. Cheung, Leavitt, and Gor's experience and loyalty to Trump's vision for America are expected to be instrumental in shaping the administration's messaging and outreach efforts.
