Trump White House and campaign veterans hesitant to reenlist for 2024

Veterans of former President Donald Trump's White House and previous campaigns aren't exactly jumping to join his 2024 effort, more than a dozen Trumpworld figures suggested to the Washington Examiner.
Trump became the first top-tier Republican to enter the 2024 field on Tuesday, and early indications suggest the campaign itself will be significantly more streamlined than his 2020 reelection bid.
Susie Wiles, who worked on both of Trump's past election efforts, former Trump White House political director Brian Jack, and longtime Republican operative Chris LaCivita are expected to run the campaign, which will be headquartered out of South Florida. Gary Coby, who oversaw Trump's 2016 and 2020 digital fundraising apparatus, former Trump White House adviser Steven Cheung, former Trump White House press aide Margo Martin, and Liz Harrington, Trump's current spokeswoman, will also have roles.
Still, five senior Trump administration and campaign alumni explicitly tell the Washington Examiner they will not join the 2024 campaign. Their reasons ranged from finding new careers to full disavowals of Trump following the events of Jan. 6.
Furthermore, more than 10 Trumpworld figures suggested to the Washington Examiner they are "on the fence" about the Donald's comeback, while many others declined to comment on the subject.
