Brian Mast, Trump Ally, Selected as New House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair
Dec 9, 2024, 08:58 PM
Representative Brian Mast (R-FL) has been selected as the next Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. The GOP Steering Committee recommended Mast over a crowded field of candidates including Reps. Wagner, Issa, and Wilson. Mast, a veteran and ally of President-elect Donald Trump, emerged as a dark horse candidate after delivering an impactful presentation. His selection has been noted to have potential influence from President-elect Trump, given Mast's representation of the area around Mar-a-Lago. This appointment marks a significant shift in the leadership of the committee, replacing outgoing chair Rep. Michael McCaul.
