Trump picks former Gingrich aide to lead Domestic Policy Council

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen his campaign speechwriter to lead his Domestic Policy Council.

Vince Haley, who was also director of policy during the campaign, will head his domestic policy agenda, Trump said in a statement Tuesday.

“As Director of the Domestic Policy Council, Vince will help make life better for ALL Americans, and unify our Country through SUCCESS,” the statement said.

Before he joined Trump’s 2016 campaign, Haley worked for 12 years for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

Trump noted in the statement that he won the 2024 presidential election by an “unprecedented margin,” though he in fact fell short of an overall majority of the popular vote and only narrowly defeated Vice President Kamala Harris.
