President-elect Donald J. Trump made a significant announcement on Saturday, revealing that his inaugural committee will be led by former U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler of Georgia. This committee, which will be responsible for planning inaugural events, will be co-chaired by Loeffler and Steve Witkoff, a prominent New York real estate investor.
In a statement released by the Trump campaign, the president-elect expressed his gratitude for the support of millions of hardworking Americans who helped secure his victory. Trump emphasized that the Trump Vance Inaugural Committee will celebrate this historic moment and serve as the kick-off to his administration, which aims to deliver on promises to Make America Great Again.
The decision to appoint Loeffler as co-chair of the inaugural committee follows Trump’s unexpected win in Georgia against Vice President Harris, where he secured 16 electoral votes. With a significant lead of approximately 120,000 votes over his opponent, Trump’s victory in the battleground state was a crucial part of his overall success in the election.
Loeffler, who previously served as a senator in 2020 before losing a special election to Democrat Raphael Warnock in 2021, has been a strong supporter of the former president. Despite facing accusations of insider trading in the past, the Department of Justice dropped its investigation, clearing her name.
Since leaving office, Loeffler has remained actively involved in conservative politics and has been vocal in her support for Trump. In a recent social media post, Loeffler criticized Mark Cuban for his comments regarding Trump’s treatment of women, asserting that conservative women deserve respect and representation in leadership.
In addition to her political advocacy, Loeffler’s conservative group launched a campaign targeting Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, highlighting what they perceived as failures in addressing crime and public safety issues. The group’s efforts aimed to hold Willis accountable for rising crime rates and prioritize the safety of Georgia residents.
As the Trump Vance Inaugural Committee prepares for the upcoming events, Loeffler’s leadership alongside Steve Witkoff signifies a commitment to honoring the American people and celebrating the nation’s achievements. The committee’s work will set the stage for Trump’s administration to deliver on its promises and work towards a brighter future for all Americans.
