CNBC: Nick Ayers Tasked To “Reopen The Economy”

What is shut down must eventually be re-opened. CNBC reports this evening, Former Vice President Pence Chief of Staff and Georgia political operative Nick Ayers has been tasked with figuring that out.

CNBC’s Kayla Tausche reports that Ayers is “something of a backchannel between the White House, Capitol Hill, and Corporate America” and among other things, organized a call this afternoon between the “President, Vice President, and major Wall Street Titans.” Per CNBC’s earlier reporting, that call included NYSE Chairman Jeff Sprecher, husband of Senator Kelly Loeffler.

Ayers passed on the opportunity to be White House Chief of Staff, choosing instead to return to Georgia. It’s clear that ties with the White House remain strong after the move.
