Former Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler to co-chair Trump's inaugural committee
Former Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler will co-chair President-elect Trump’s inaugural committee alongside Steve Witkoff, Trump's campaign announced Saturday.
The Republican leader said the committee will “honor” his victory in the 2024 election.
“The Trump Vance Inaugural Committee will honor this magnificent victory in a celebration of the American People and our nation,” Trump said in a statement.
“This will be the kick-off to my administration, which will deliver on bold promises to Make America Great Again,” he added. “Together, we will celebrate this moment, steeped on history and tradition, and then get to work to achieve the most incredible future for our people, restoring strength, success, and common sense to the Oval Office.”
Loeffler was appointed to the Senate in 2019 by Gov. Brian Kemp (R) due to a resignation from former Sen. Johnny Isakson (R).
While in office, she was a staunch supporter of Trump and supported a lawsuit seeking to overturn the 2020 election results but spoke out against the measure after the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.
The selections come after Trump tapped longtime senior advisor Susie Wilkes to serve as chief of staff. She will be the first woman in history hold the position.
While campaigning, Trump's opponents alleged he did not like to be “challenged by women” and Trump received flack for telling people he’d protect the demographic whether they “like it or not.”
