Loeffler and Witkoff will chair Trump’s inaugural committee

Former Sen. Kelly Loeffler and new york real estate investor Steve Witkoff will chair the president-elect of Donald Trump the inaugural committee, the campaign announced Saturday.

The inauguration committee is present load of the presidential inauguration ceremony and activities related to the ceremony. The move is among Trump’s first as president-elect.

“On election night, we made history and have the extraordinary honor of being elected as the 47th President of the United States because of the tens of millions of hardworking Americans across the nation who supported our America First agenda,” Trump said in a statement. “The Trump Vance Inaugural Committee will honor this magnificent victory in a celebration of the American people and our nation.”

“This will be the beginning of my administration that will deliver on bold promises to make America great again,” Trump added. “Together, we will celebrate this moment, steeped in history and tradition, and then get to work to realize the most incredible future for our people, returning power, success and common sense to the Oval Office.”

Loeffler celebrated his selection in a post on X.

“I am delighted to accept this extraordinary honor alongside Steve Witkoff,” she said. “We look forward to hosting a very special celebration honoring the American people, the promise of our nation, and President Trump’s triumphant return to the White House. The inauguration will herald the beginning of the great American comeback – and a new golden age for our nation!”

Trump’s longtime friend, billionaire Tom Barrack, chaired his inaugural committee in 2016, while megadonors Sheldon Adelson and Miriam Adelson and New York Jets owner Woody Johnson were among the vice chairs.

Loeffler has long supported Trump, though he has been out of electoral politics since losing a special election for his Senate seat in 2021. Like Witkoff, Loeffler has donated millions of dollars to Trump.

Witkoff is Trump’s longtime friend and golfing buddy. He was there during the second assassination attempt on Trump, when a gunman almost managed to shoot the then-former president while he was playing golf.
