Sergio Gore Emerges as Top Contender for Key Role in Trump Administration

After the Republican Party's less-than-expected performance in the midterm elections, Washington is now preparing to reinvent itself. Meanwhile, there are reports that the party's top leadership could be in for a major shakeup. After the midterm elections debacle, US Ambassador to India Sergio Gore's name is doing the rounds for a major position in President Trump's administration. There is talk that Gore could be given key responsibilities such as White House chief of staff or secretary of state. According to a report in The Washington Sun, 10 people with knowledge of internal affairs in the administration have suggested that Gore could be given a bigger role in the second half of Trump's term. Gore has previously held senior positions in the White House and is considered very close to Trump. There is also talk among State Department officials that Gore is interested in getting a promotion. Gore, who has a good hold in the administration and direct access to Trump, has been involved in several high-level diplomatic meetings in recent days. Goro's role as US ambassador to India, according to a report in The Washington Sun, is also considered to be close to Rubio.
