Scavino expected to be tapped for White House personnel role

Dan Scavino, a trusted advisor with decades of service, will oversee hiring for 4,000 federal political appointments, maintaining the administration's America First staffing approach.

  • The White House confirmed that Dan Scavino, White House deputy chief of staff, will lead the Presidential Personnel Office, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt praising him as "one of President Trump's most trusted and longest serving advisers."
  • The vacancy followed Sergio Gor's nomination as ambassador to India, after he drew criticism from Elon Musk for his strict vetting of White House job applicants.
  • Scavino, who has served since 2015, brings experience running Trump's social media and senior communications roles to lead the Presidential Personnel Office, which vets and hires for 4,000 executive branch political appointments.
  • A source said Scavino will "scrutinize the current staff and personnel changes that happen as the office transitions to a new leadership and structure," and Karoline Leavitt praised his leadership as vital for a dedicated workforce.
  • Scavino's long relationship with Trump signals reinforced loyalty in hiring, as his Oval Office proximity and ties dating to the 1990 golf meeting boost his West Wing influence.
