Former Sen. Kelly Loeffler and New York real estate investor Steve Witkoff will chair President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration committee, the campaign announced Saturday.
The inauguration committee is in charge of the presidential inaugural ceremony and activities connected with the ceremony. The move is among Trump’s first as president-elect.
“On Election Night, we made history, and I have the extraordinary honor of having been elected the 47th President of the United States thanks to tens [of] millions of hardworking Americans across the nation who supported our America First agenda,” Trump said in a statement. “The Trump Vance Inaugural Committee will honor this magnificent victory in a celebration of the American People and our nation.”
“This will be the kick-off to my administration, which will deliver on bold promises to Make America Great Again,” Trump added. “Together, we will celebrate this moment, steeped on history and tradition, and then get to work to achieve the most incredible future for our people, restoring strength, success, and common sense to the Oval Office.”
Loeffler celebrated her selection in a post on X.
“Excited to accept this tremendous honor alongside Steve Witkoff,” she said. “We look forward to delivering a very special celebration that honors the American people, the promise of our nation, and President Trump’s triumphant return to the White House. The inauguration will herald the start of the great American comeback — and a new golden era for our nation!”
Trump’s longtime friend, billionaire Tom Barrack, chaired his inauguration committee in 2016, while megadonors Sheldon Adelson and Miriam Adelson and New York Jets owner Woody Johnson were among the vice chairs.

Loeffler has long supported Trump, though she’s been outside electoral politics since she lost the special election for her Senate seat in 2021. Like Witkoff, Loeffler has donated millions of dollars to Trump.
Witkoff is Trump’s longtime friend and golfing companion. He was there during the second assassination attempt on Trump when a gunman nearly managed to take a shot at the then-former president while he was golfing.
