President-elect Donald Trump announced Sunday that Reince Priebus will serve as his chief of staff, while Stephen Bannon will serve as chief strategist and senior counselor.
Priebus is currently the chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC), while Bannon was the chief executive officer of Trump's campaign.
Bannon previously served as the chairman of Breitbart News, an "alt-right" news site that supported Trump's bid.
“Steve and Reince are highly qualified leaders who worked well together on our campaign and led us to a historic victory. Now I will have them both with me in the White House as we work to make America great again," Trump said in a statement.
Both names had been floated as potential White House staff members in the days since the election.
Bannon said he looked forward to continue working with Priebus after the election victory.
“We had a very successful partnership on the campaign, one that led to victory. We will have that same partnership in working to help President-elect Trump achieve his agenda," Bannon said in a statement.
