Major Shake-Up in Trump’s Inner Circle: Taylor Budowich Leaving White House in July 2024
In one of the most significant political developments related to the Trump administration this year, news has emerged about the departure of a key figure close to former U.S.
President Donald Trump — Taylor Budowich.
This move represents the largest personnel change in the White House since the start of Trump’s second term, which has now lasted over eight months.
According to CNN, citing sources within political circles, Budowich is set to leave his position in late July to return to the private sector, continuing his work not only within inner political circles but also maintaining close ties with groups supporting Trump.
His resignation marks one of the most high-profile departures from the White House team in the period of Trump’s second term.
It’s worth noting that personnel shifts in the Trump administration, especially about a year into his second term, have become quite common as staff stabilize and political priorities shift.
Budowich is not a new face to Trump supporters; he joined his inner circle in 2021 after the first presidential term and soon became one of his main strategists preparing for Trump’s 2024 comeback.
Known for leading influential groups such as MAGA Inc.
and Securing American Greatness, he played a pivotal role in raising and spending over $600 million in support of Trump’s recent electoral bid.
In August 2024, Budowich left external organizations to join Trump’s official campaign.
Additionally, he maintains a close relationship with U.S.
Vice President Joe Biden, and his involvement in political maneuvers and deep connections have made him a key figure in recent U.S.
political affairs.
During his work with Trump, Budowich faced several legal challenges, including subpoenas related to the January 6 Capitol riot and investigations into Trump’s handling of classified documents.
He testified before congressional committees, reflecting his significant role in shaping recent political events.
Commenting on his departure, White House Chief of Staff Suzanne Lewis offered heartfelt wishes for success.
Trump advisor Steven Miller emphasized Budowich’s importance to the MAGA movement and Trump’s new administration.
Vice President Kamala Harris also expressed trust, highlighting how many times she relied on his advice during her first year in office.
Trump aide Dan Scavino acknowledged him as an invaluable asset to the Trump 2.0 team.
Historically, one of the biggest losses in Trump’s team was Mike Waltz, who, after serving as a National Security Advisor, was appointed U.S.
ambassador to the UN.
The news of Budowich’s departure marks a significant moment amid ongoing changes in Trump’s team, likely to have substantial implications in U.S.
politics moving forward.
