Top Trump aides join group prepping to shore up support for MAGA agenda during second term
Two key aides to President-elect Donald Trump have announced their decision to join the 501c4 Building America’s Future (BAF) group as senior advisers in preparation for Trump’s second term in office. Chris LaCivita, one of Trump’s campaign managers in the 2024 election, and Tony Fabrizio, Trump’s campaign’s chief pollster, will provide strategic counsel to the organization as it gears up to garner public support for Trump’s Make America Great Again (MAGA) agenda.
LaCivita and Fabrizio expressed their excitement in a joint statement, stating that they are pleased to be joining BAF, who played a crucial role in promoting President Trump’s agenda and candidacy during the 2024 election cycle. They emphasized their commitment to guiding BAF in efforts that align with and enhance the President’s team’s objectives.
BAF, which led a $45 million effort to support Trump and his campaign in the recent election, has already demonstrated its dedication to continuing its advocacy for Trump’s administration. The group recently launched an ad campaign in support of Pete Hegseth, Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Defense, showcasing their commitment to advancing Trump’s policy priorities beyond the election.
As Republicans gear up to utilize the budget reconciliation process to pass key elements of Trump’s economic, tax, and border security agenda, BAF’s role in energizing public support for Trump’s policies becomes increasingly significant. By mobilizing public backing for Trump’s initiatives, BAF aims to exert pressure on Republicans to unite behind Trump’s priorities and potentially sway some Democrats to join their cause.
The upcoming Senate session is expected to be challenging, with Republicans facing a slim majority and the lingering filibuster complicating the legislative landscape. However, the concerted efforts of BAF in building public support for Trump’s agenda could influence lawmakers’ decisions and encourage bipartisan cooperation, especially among Democrats facing re-election in red or purple states.
With Susie Wiles, another key player in Trump’s 2024 campaign, already named as his White House chief of staff pick, the stage is set for a dynamic and impactful second term for President Trump. As BAF and its new senior advisers work to galvanize public backing for Trump’s policies, the political landscape is poised for potential shifts and collaborations that could shape the future of the country.
