President-elect Donald Trump has named Steven Cheung as White House communications director, promoting the campaign spokesman to one of the top communications positions in the White House.

Cheung has been appointed assistant to the president and director of communications. During Trump’s first term, Cheung served as director of strategic response.

As part of the same series of appointments, Trump ally Sergio Gor’s announced transition will also serve as assistant to the president, as well as director of presidential staff. CNN previously reported that Gor was tapped for the position of director of presidential personnel.

“Steven Cheung and Sergio Gor have been trusted advisors since my first presidential campaign in 2016, and have continued to champion the principles of America First throughout my first term, all the way to our historic victory in 2024,” Trump said in a statement. “I am thrilled that they are joining my White House as we, Make America Great Again!”
