Sen. Tim Scott’s tenure as chairman of the Senate GOP’s campaign arm is starting with a controversial hire.
According to six sources familiar with the matter, Stephen DeMaura — the former campaign manager for Mike Pence’s most recent presidential campaign — is expected to be the new executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
On top of leading Pence’s 2024 presidential campaign, DeMaura previously served as executive director for the New Hampshire Republican Party, as well as executive director for a super PAC that backed former presidential candidate Carly Fiorina in 2016.
