The White House is planning to revamp its internal operations in the new year, including bringing in new leadership as aides worry about Republican prospects during the 2018 midterm elections.

He will oversee the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, the Office of Political Affairs, the Office of Presidential Personnel and the Office of Public Liaison, one official told the Post.

And the Trump administration is also hoping to hire a top political strategist ahead of the 2018 midterms, as worries about political director Bill Stepien emerge.

Stepien is getting heat over the Republican loss in the Alabama Senate race, which led to the state having its first Democratic senator since 1997 in Doug Jones.

Officials also told the Post that legislative director Marc Short has taken on more political responsibilities behind the scenes.

Trump has reportedly been speaking to members of Congress and outside advisers over the past few weeks who have warned him that losing GOP control of the House will likely lead to impeachment proceedings and block him from any further legislative victories.
