Blake Masters

The Arizona venture capitalist, who previously ran for U.S. Senate against Mark Kelly, and narrowly lost a competitive GOP primary for Arizona's 8th Congressional District earlier this year, was originally interested in heading up the Presidential Personnel Office, but Semafor reports that after Trump tapped Sergio Gor, who heads up Donald Trump, Jr. publishing company Masters has turned his attention to the ATF.

If Masters does get the nod, he won’t have an easy path in the Senate — simply due to the history of the ATF director position, which involves oversight of politically sensitive gun policies. President Joe Biden pulled his first ATF nominee, David Chipman, before his second nominee, Steve Dettelbach, was confirmed in 2022.
Even that’s something of an accomplishment; Trump’s ATF nominee Chuck Canterbury was withdrawn in 2020, and Dettelbach was only the second ATF director ever confirmed by the Senate.
Masters may appeal to pro-gun Republicans, though, having campaigned as a pro-gun Senate candidate – with video proof. Republicans can afford up to three defections on any nominee.
