WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Nick Ayers, in talks with President Donald Trump to become his new White House chief of staff, is a 36-year-old political whiz-kid who could help with the looming re-election campaign, but critics question whether he has the grit needed to keep Trump and an often chaotic administration under control.

A photogenic Georgia native, Ayers has advised a series of high-profile Republican governors and has been Vice President Mike Pence's chief of staff, running one of the most effective political teams in Washington.
