Inside the administration, however, he was far from a minor player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The former Foreign Service officer served as Vice President JD Vance\u2019s national security adviser before moving into a broader White House role. An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Baker-Andrew.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">official White House financial disclosure<\/a> shows that Baker joined Vance\u2019s Senate staff in 2023, then became the vice president\u2019s national security adviser when Trump returned to office in January 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Axios described Baker as one of the officials most deeply involved in the administration\u2019s foreign-policy and national-security decisions during Trump\u2019s second term. He also took part in negotiations with Iran this year \u2014 putting him close to some of the White House\u2019s most sensitive diplomatic work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Politico <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2026\/02\/07\/andy-baker-vance-rubio-europe-00767053\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported in February<\/a> that Baker had become a quiet force in Vance\u2019s orbit, helping shape the vice president\u2019s foreign-policy thinking and the administration\u2019s approach to Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m proud of everything we\u2019ve achieved,\u201d Baker told Axios while thanking Trump, Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The White House presented the move as an orderly transition, not a policy rupture. A source close to Baker told Axios that he wanted to spend more time with his family and had remained in the job longer than planned to help hand responsibilities to Cliff Sims and Mike Needham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sims, who succeeded Baker as Vance\u2019s national security adviser earlier this summer, will remain in that position. Needham will continue serving as a White House deputy national security adviser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vance called Baker an \u201cindispensable member\u201d of the administration\u2019s national-security team, while Rubio credited him with advancing Trump\u2019s America First agenda. Trump envoy Steve Witkoff also praised Baker\u2019s work on international deals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the timing is impossible to ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Baker\u2019s departure surfaced only two days after Trump announced that White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt will step down at the end of August. Leavitt, who recently returned from maternity leave after giving birth to her second child, said she could no longer give both her family and the demanding job the attention they deserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump said she would remain a top outside adviser, and no replacement has yet been announced, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.com\/Politics\/trump-announces-white-house-press-secretary-karoline-leavitt\/story?id=135590424\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ABC News<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/karoline-leavitt-exiting-as-white-house-press-secretary-trump-adviser\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CBS News<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two exits hit different corners of the West Wing \u2014 one in national security, the other in communications \u2014 but together they create an unwelcome picture for a White House trying to project stability heading into the midterms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Baker is expected to enter the private sector and work with Robert O\u2019Brien, who served as Trump\u2019s fourth national security adviser during his first term, Axios reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class= \"house-ad\"><center><p class= \"sponsored\">Sponsored<\/p><strong><span style=\" color:#ff0004\" class=\" has-inline-color has-text-align-center\"><a href= \"https:\/\/secure.winred.com\/texans-for-dan-patrick\/dp-undergod-howdidwegethere-em-2-db\/?utm_term=%5Btrackingcode%5D&#038;source_code=%5Btrackingcode%5D&#038;recurring=true&#038;amtposition=1&#038;exitintent=true\">If we lose Texas, we lose America.
