LOS ANGELES — The 2028 Olympic games is adding Team Trump to its roster.

LA28, the organizing committee for the upcoming Summer Games and Paralympics in Los Angeles, posted new members of the board of directors to its website Thursday. The common thread among nearly all of the new additions is ties to President Donald Trump.

The slate includes well-known political figures like Reince Priebus, the onetime Republican National Committee chair who served as Trump’s first chief of staff in his first term, and Kevin McCarthy, the former House Speaker and Trump ally who is also close with Los Angeles’ Democratic mayor, Karen Bass.

Others with Trump connections are Wisconsin Trump mega-donor Diane Hendricks, Patrick Dumont, owner of the Dallas Mavericks and son-in-law of major Trump benefactor Miriam Adelson, and investment banker Ken Moelis, who was a banker for Trump in the 1990s.

The influx of new additions means that access to Trump’s White House is now just one phone call away for the commission, an asset at a time when Trump has no hesitation threatening the Democratic-led cities hosting major events. Los Angeles has been a particular target of the president’s ire, including his extraordinary mobilization of the Marines this summer in response to protests against his immigration crackdown.

Prior to Thursday’s new members, the board was dominated by former Olympians, Hollywood power players and sports and corporate executives, with little overt partisan branding. Elaine Chao, the former Transportation secretary during Trump’s first term who broke with the president after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, joined the board in January.

With the Olympics, America’s 250th anniversary and the World Cup all taking place during Trump’s second term, international sports bodies appear to be moving in sync in their swing toward Trump.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino, who has scored more Oval Office visits with Trump this year than any world leader, came to one of his meetings bearing a 24-carat gold trophy that Infantino allowed Trump to keep. FIFA went back to Tiffany & Co. to have a replica made for the team that actually won.

Beyond sitting through awkward moments in the Oval Office as Trump threatens tournament co-host Mexico over cartels while taking questions from the press, Infantino has gone out of his way to create a new award, the FIFA Peace Prize, that is widely expected to be given to Trump at the World Cup draw at the Kennedy Center in early December.

Casey Wasserman, the chairman of the 2028 LA Olympics organizing committee, has also been solicitous of Trump. He gifted the president medals from the 1984 games in Los Angeles during an August signing ceremony establishing a federal task force for the mega-event. Trump is chair of the task force, which is meant to ensure the games are “safe, seamless and historically successful.”

Also joining the LA28 board is Los Angeles business consultant Denita Willoughby and philanthropist Maria Hummer-Tuttle, while Muffy Davis, a seven-time Paralympic medalist, is leaving the board.

“We are thrilled to welcome this accomplished group to the LA28 Board who will help create an unforgettable Games for athletes and fans alike,” Wasserman said in a statement.
