President-elect Trump is tapping tech heavyweights to join his new administration, continuing a trend of Silicon Valley's growing influence in a second Trump White House. He would nominate Scott Kupor, a managing partner at Andreessen Horowitz, to be director of the Office of Personnel Management, which coordinates recruitment and provides resources for government employees.
