And Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale said in a statement, “Hogan Gidley has been at the President’s side for three years, and now he joins the fight to re-elect him.”
He continued, “He is a talented advocate and defender of the President and his policies and is never afraid to go into battle with hostile reporters and television hosts. Hogan is a great addition to the team and makes us even stronger.”
Gidley said he was “humbled and deeply appreciative to President Trump for giving me a front-row seat to witness history.”
He continued, “My time at the White House has truly been a blessing beyond measure and getting to speak directly to the American people on behalf of this President has been an incredible honor. President Trump’s record-setting accomplishments have improved the lives of all Americans, and I can’t wait to get over to the campaign and fight for his re-election.”
Gidley has worked in the White House communications office since 2017.
