President Donald Trump selected Katie Bailey to serve as the White House legislative affairs director on Saturday, filling a key role that has been vacant for several months. She replaces James Braid, who departed the position prior to the November midterm elections.
Trump highlighted Bailey’s track record in a post on Truth Social, noting that her previous work as deputy director had yielded significant achievements. The President specifically pointed to her contributions in facilitating the Senate confirmations of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and other administration nominees.
Interesting pick. I wonder how she handles the upcoming legislative battles with a divided Congress.
Is this just filling a vacancy, or is there a bigger strategy behind Braid’s departure?
Bailey clearly knows the Senate process well. Her confirmation track record speaks for itself.
