The Los Angeles 2028 Olympics organizing committee has added former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus to its board of directors, according to the LA28 website. The move comes as the White House ramps up involvement via an August executive order establishing a federal Olympics task force for security, transportation and streamlined visas, and amid USOPC statements about aligning eligibility policies with the administration’s directives.
