Vice President Mike Pence Announces His New Chief Of Staff

He’s baaaaaaaaack.

Former Trump aide Marc Short is returning to the administration and serving as Vice President Mike Pence’s new chief of staff. He was the White House director of legislative affairs.

Short was a key point of contact between the White House and members of Congress. He was closely involved with the passage of Trump’s signature tax reform plan and pushing through the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch.

After he left the administration last summer, Short joined the University of Virginia on a one-year fellowship. The appointment was greeted by protests from faculty and alumni who condemned the Trump administration.

Short’s return to the administration comes as the Trump campaign and White House gear up for what will likely be a tough 2020 re-election campaign.

He’s officially replacing Nick Ayers, who announced his departure in December.

Marc Short. He’s in. Good choice?
