First John Kelly, now this?
Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff, Nick Ayers, is leaving at the end of the year. He just made the announcement on Twitter.
Thank you @realDonaldTrump, @VP, and my great colleagues for the honor to serve our Nation at The White House. I will be departing at the end of the year but will work with the #MAGA team to advance the cause. 🇺🇸 #Georgia

My friend @nick_ayers has been a huge asset to @realDonaldTrump and @VP. The @WhiteHouse is a stronger place because of him. I am sure we will follow the same path to help POTUS win 4 more years in 2020.

So….I guess this means he’s not going to be Trump’s next chief of staff either.
Sources tell me Pence Chief of staff, Nick Ayers WILL NOT move to the West Wing and will transition to a super PAC. @realDonaldTrump expected to decide on new chief of staff by end of the year.

The hunt for a new chief of staff continues…
