Trump Names Dan Scavino White House Hiring Director

President Donald Trump has appointed Dan Scavino, a longtime loyalist and White House deputy chief of staff, to head the Presidential Personnel Office, granting him authority over staffing decisions in the administration. Scavino, Trump's longest-serving aide since 2015, replaces Sergio Gor, who was recently nominated as ambassador to India and special envoy for South and Central Asian affairs. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt praised Scavino as a trusted advisor who will ensure the administration is staffed with qualified, competent, and America First-driven personnel. Scavino's deep ties to Trump include managing his social media during Trump's first campaign and remaining a close aide after the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack. While some MAGA influencers, such as Laura Loomer, expressed interest in the role, senior officials reportedly hesitate to incorporate her controversial tactics into the administration. Scavino’s appointment signals Trump’s intent to maintain a loyal and dedicated workforce to advance his agenda.
