President Donald Trump has appointed Dan Scavino, his longest-serving aide, to head the White House Presidential Personnel Office, giving him authority over staffing decisions across the administration.
The move follows the departure of Sergio Gor, the previous officeholder, who was nominated to serve as U.S. ambassador to India.
Scavino has been a fixture in Trump’s orbit since 2015, beginning as Director of Social Media during the first presidential campaign, according to The Gateway Pundit.
Before entering politics, he worked for more than a decade at Trump National Golf Club Westchester, ultimately rising to executive vice president.
Within the Trump administration, Scavino served as White House Director of Social Media and later as Senior Advisor for Digital Strategy from 2019 to 2021.
In the current administration, he holds the role of White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications, giving him influence over both messaging and internal operations.
Bloomberg reports that Scavino has remained a steadfast ally of Trump through some of the most turbulent periods of recent history.
