Veteran and Trump Ally Brian Mast Selected as New Chair of House Foreign Affairs Committee
Dec 9, 2024, 09:39 PM
The House Republican Steering Committee has selected Representative Brian Mast (R-FL) to chair the House Foreign Affairs Committee for the 119th Congress. Mast, a decorated veteran and Trump ally, emerged as a dark horse candidate after delivering a compelling presentation to the committee. His selection marks a significant shift in leadership, replacing outgoing chair Rep. Michael McCaul. Mast's appointment is seen as a move to align the committee more closely with President-elect Donald Trump's 'America First' foreign policy agenda. The decision was influenced by Mast's proximity to Mar-a-Lago and his strong advocacy for veterans, with some sources suggesting President-elect Trump's influence in the choice. Mast won a four-way contest against Ann Wagner, Darrell Issa, and Joe Wilson.
