Answer:

A government official who gives jobs to those who supported his or her campaign is engaging in cronyism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cronyism his when someone promotes his or her friends to positions of power even if they are not the best person for the job or are not qualified for the position. We can see this in modern politics. For example, President Donald Trump made his daughter, Ivanka, his advisor. She might not have been the best person for the job, or the most qualified, but she has the positon because of her family connection.
