Taylor Budowich, a key communications architect for Donald Trump, is preparing to leave his position as Deputy Chief of Staff later this month, marking the most significant personnel change to date in the President’s second term.
According to a source familiar with the matter, Budowich’s exit is a planned transition as the administration reaches its eight-month mark. Unlike the frequent turbulence that defined Trump’s first term, the current White House has experienced notable staff stability, with Budowich’s departure being a rare high-level change.
Budowich, who served as Trump’s post-presidency spokesperson and later led the MAGA Inc. super PAC before rejoining the campaign, declined to comment on the move, which was first reported by Axios.
His departure follows that of Mike Waltz, who was previously the highest-profile aide to leave. However, Waltz’s exit from the role of National Security Advisor was part of a strategic reassignment, as he has since been confirmed as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. The planned nature of these changes underscores a more structured approach to personnel within the current administration compared to the past.
