Alabama Native Lands Key White House Role

Cliff Sims, Yellowhammer News founder and a veteran of the Trump White House, is heading back to Washington! Politico reports that he's been tapped as Vice President JD Vance's principal national security and foreign policy advisor.

From Alabama to the White House... Again!

This is another impressive step in Sims' journey from Alabama politics to the heart of national security. Vance himself is thrilled, calling Sims a "good friend and advisor."

Stepping Up During Critical Times

Sims will be working alongside Andy Baker, beefing up the VP's foreign policy team at a crucial time, with conflicts raging in Ukraine, Russia and Iran.

High Praise from Former Bosses

Former CIA Director John Ratcliffe, who worked with Sims during Trump's first term, raves about his "exceptional judgment" and command of sensitive national security matters. Donald Trump Jr. also chimed in, noting Sims' deep understanding of the "America First" agenda.

A Colorful Career Path

Sims' story is definitely unique. He founded Yellowhammer News, served in the Trump White House, even penned the tell-all "Team of Vipers" (which caused some initial friction). The two later patched things up and Sims was tapped to lead messaging and speechwriting for the 2020 Republican National Convention before moving to the intelligence community. Before this latest move, he returned to Alabama and led a marketing agency.
