Ms. Craighead, who has worked for the George W. Bush White House and the office of former Vice President Dick Cheney, was tapped for the job that will call on her to document the president’s daily work and travels virtually nonstop. She was with Mr. Trump on his first flight on Air Force One to Philadelphia Thursday.
