New York Magazine: “Though few outside the Trump administration are aware of his existence, Vance chief of staff Jacob Reses is one of the most influential Republican operatives in Washington.”
“He is the mysterious ‘Jacob’ in the leaked Signal chat that showed Trump-administration officials in 2025 planning a strike against Houthi rebels in Yemen. He is a conservative nationalist who was lauded as an emerging leader on the New Right trying to remake the GOP into a more populist party. He is Vance’s most important adviser on domestic politics ‘by a country mile.'”
