Trump Hit By Another High-Profile Exit As Top Congressional Aide James Braid Heads For Door

Donald Trump’s White House is facing another high-profile departure, with James Braid, the administration’s director of legislative affairs, reportedly preparing to leave after 19 months in the role. Braid has served as a key link between Trump and Congress, helping navigate the president’s narrow Republican majorities and advance major legislation. His reported exit comes just weeks after Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced she would leave at the end of August. With several other senior officials already gone, the latest departure is adding to questions over Trump’s team as the midterm elections approach.
