Brian Mast, Trump Ally, Wins House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair
Dec 9, 2024, 09:18 PM
Representative Brian Mast (R-FL), a veteran and Trump ally, has been selected by the House GOP Steering Committee to chair the House Foreign Affairs Committee for the upcoming Congress. Mast emerged as a dark horse candidate after delivering a compelling presentation, winning in a four-way race against Ann Wagner, Darrell Issa, and Joe Wilson. His selection is seen as a move to align the committee with President-elect Trump's America First agenda. Mast's appointment has been met with congratulations from fellow Republicans, who anticipate his leadership will focus on promoting peace through strength and supporting military personnel. His district includes the area around Mar-a-Lago, which might have influenced his selection. However, Mast's controversial views on foreign policy, including his comparison of Palestinians to Nazis, have also drawn attention.
