President-elect Trump announced on Tuesday night that Vince Haley, his campaign speechwriter, will be the next chief of the Domestic Policy Council (DPC).
“As Director of the Domestic Policy Council, Vince will help make life better for ALL Americans, and unify our Country through SUCCESS. Together, we will defeat Inflation, rapidly bring down Prices, secure the Southern Border, cut Taxes and Regulations, reignite Growth, build the Greatest Economy in History and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,” Trump said in an announcement on TruthSocial.
Haley, who worked in the White House during Trump’s first term, will be in an influential post that oversees the development and implementation of the president’s domestic policies across the federal government.
The DPC is part of the Office of Policy Development, and it is made up of various secretaries and White House officials.
Haley is the protégé of Stephen Miller, Trump’s senior advisor, whom the president-elect selected two weeks ago to serve as deputy chief of staff for policy.
Haley also has close ties with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) who he worked for in various roles for over a decade, including serving as Gingrich’s campaign manager during the Georgia Republican’s 2012 presidential run.
Haley is an attorney by training. In the Tuesday release, Trump praised him as “very well-educated and has a brilliant mind for Policies that work for the American People.”
