Vice President-elect Mike Pence has appointed Ken Nahigian to replace Rick Dearborn as executive director of the Trump-Pence presidential transition, the transition team said in a press release on Wednesday.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Nahigian, who served as the head of strategic planning and support for President-elect Donald Trump, will now support Trump's nominees through their confirmation hearings.

"In the days following the election, [Nahigian’s] role evolved to not only manage President-elect support, but also prepare our great cabinet designees for their hearings," Dearborn was quoted as saying in the release. "The transition is in capable hands with Ken Nahigian, who has tirelessly supported it from day one and will carry it through the finish line."
