COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The executive director of former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley’s political action committee is leaving to help run PAC efforts for former Vice President Mike Pence. The defection comes as both former Trump administration officials consider 2024 Republican presidential bids. Pence’s PAC told The Associated Press on Friday that Tim Chapman is taking over as senior adviser at Advancing American Freedom after serving as executive director of Stand for America, the PAC he helped create in 2021 as a way for Haley to maintain visibility after her turns in office. The switch between camps comes as potential GOP contenders seek to build out their operations in preparation for launching White House campaigns.
