Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich is reportedly leaving the White House, according to reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Budowich’s departure at the end of the month marks one of the highest profile departures from the Trump White House. Budowich oversaw communications, cabinet affairs and speech writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Budowich, a longtime Trump aide, played a large role in the president\u2019s political operation after he left office in 2021. Throughout 2023 and most of 2024, Budowich oversaw the main pro-Trump super PAC. His departure was earlier reported by Axios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He plans to return to the private sector after years at Trump\u2019s side, including helming the main pro-Trump super PAC through most of 2023 and 2024, according to Axios<\/a> and The New York Times<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The departure is unexpected, given his close relations with Chief of Staff Susie Wiles\u2019 operation, and his years leading Trumpworld messaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTaylor is a dear friend, and I know that President Trump holds him in very high regard. I hate to see him go, personally and professionally, but obviously wish him well in whatever he decides is next,\u201d Wiles told Axios.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Stephen Miller, a fellow deputy chief of staff, also praised him for his loyalty to Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another deputy chief of staff, Dan Scavino, described Budowich as a \u201cvital asset in Trump 2.0.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n His exit follows a string of high-profile departures from Trump\u2019s second term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The White House\u2019s principal deputy communications director, Alex Pfeiffer, quietly made his exit last week after joining the White House in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
