President Donald Trump is installing longtime aide Dan Scavino as director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office, the unit that oversees hiring and vetting for thousands of administration posts, according to White House officials and multiple media reports on Tuesday. Scavino, one of Trump’s earliest and most trusted advisers, will replace Sergio Gor, whom the president has nominated to serve as ambassador to India. The move places the 49-year-old former social-media strategist at the center of efforts to staff the executive branch as the administration advances its second-term agenda. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Scavino’s leadership would help deliver “the highest-quality, most dedicated workforce ever.” His appointment underscores Trump’s reliance on loyalists as he accelerates personnel decisions ahead of next year’s midterm elections and continuing policy initiatives.
