For weeks, Donald Trump ran his presidential
transition out of Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan. Now that he has been
sworn in as president, he has made the move to the White House – and
he’s taking part of New York with him.
While son Barron and first lady Melania Trump are
staying in New York City for now, there are a number of New Yorkers who
have joined the new president on the big move down to Washington, D.C.
Some of them are longtime friends and associates of
the 45th president, or even family, in the case of his son-in-law, Jared
Kushner. Some are wealthy Wall Street executives who will be charged
with overseeing the nation’s financial and banking sectors. Others are
political veterans tapped for their expertise, or major donors selected
for their past support.
“There’s
a lot of talent here in New York and Donald Trump’s from New York,”
said Ed Cox, the chairman of the state Republican Party. “There are a
number of people ... from New York here who will be playing roles, and
this state is going to be very important to Trump’s administration.”
