President-elect Trump has nominated Somers Farkas and John Arrigo for ambassadorial posts.

If confirmed, Arrigo, vice president of Arrigo Auto Group in West Palm Beach, Florida, would serve as ambassador to Portugal.

Vance is likely to be the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination in 2028, but RNC chairman also likes the party’s “bench.”

“John is a highly successful automotive entrepreneur and a top golfer. He has been an incredible business leader in West Palm Beach for over thirty years and is respected by all,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. “I have known John for a long time. He will do an incredible job for our country and always put America FIRST.”

According to a 2021 report from Business Insider, Arrigo is a long-time associate of Trump.
