Former Vice President Mike Pence’s political operation has poached Tim Chapman, a prime aide to former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, two Republican sources with information of the transfer confirmed.
Both Pence and Haley are contemplating White House bids in 2024.
Griffin’s transfer to Pence’s crew was first reported by Politico.
Chapman, who had been serving as government director for Haley’s PAC, Stand for America, will now transfer to Pence’s PAC, Advancing American Freedom.
“Tim Chapman is one of the brightest stars in the conservative movement, and we are so thrilled he’s joining the team to advance the cause of American culture, American opportunity, and American leadership,” Pence stated in an announcement to CBS News.
“I am grateful for my time working with Nikki Haley and her dedicated team,” Chapman stated in an announcement. “Advancing American Freedom is one of the fastest growing and increasingly influential conservative groups in the nation, and I am thrilled to join the incredible team that is building AAF as a leader for common sense conservative policies that will help restore America.”
Asked Thursday on Fox News a few potential White House bid, Haley appeared to point she’s inclined to run.
“We need to go in a new direction,” she stated. “And can I be that leader? Yes, I think I can be that leader.”
In an announcement offered Friday evening to CBS News, Betsy Ankney, government director of Stand For America, stated: “Tim Chapman is terrific and we’re happy he found a great spot to continue to advocate for conservative policy ideas.”
