Hagin aided George H. W. Bush during his unsuccessful GOP presidential nomination campaign in 1979. When Bush became vice president in 1981, he selected Hagin as his personal aide. Bush also appointed him to head the Vice President's Legislative Affairs, 1983–85. In 1985, Hagin left the White House to be Public Affairs Director for Federated Department Stores, which owns Macy's and Bloomingdale's.

He returned to politics during the 1988 presidential campaign where he aided Bush in his successful run. He continued his service during the administration as Appointments Secretary to the President until he took a job as vice president of corporate affairs at Chiquita Brands International in 1991. Hagin also served as a volunteer firefighter for the Madeira Indian Hill Joint Fire District before moving to Washington D.C. and while working for Chiquita Brands International.

Hagin aided George W. Bush as a deputy campaign manager during the 2000 presidential campaign. He was appointed Deputy Chief of Staff in 2001 and remained in the position until July 2008. Prior to Karl Rove's resignation in 2007, Hagin's day-to-day power rivaled that of Rove.[4]

In January 2017, President-Elect Donald Trump announced that Hagin would serve in as the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations.[1] Chief of Staff John F. Kelly announced on September 6, 2017, at a White House staff meeting, that Hagin will oversee the president's schedule.[5]

Hagin played a central role in planning the North Korea–United States summit in Singapore in June 2018.[6]
