President-elect Trump has completed his selections for the top 15 positions in his Cabinet in just three weeks, choosing a mix of establishment and unconventional officials. His rapid pace in shaping his administration contrasts with his previous presidential run in 2016. The diverse ideologies of Trump’s picks are united under his Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement.
From Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s pro-choice stance to Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s pro-union stance and former George Soros adviser Scott Bessent, Trump’s Cabinet represents a new era for Republican presidents.
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has been nominated as Secretary of Health and Human Services, despite his pro-choice stance causing concern among conservative Republicans. Meanwhile, Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer has been nominated as Labor Secretary, with strong support from unions, and Scott Bessent has been nominated as Treasury Secretary to implement „Trumponomics.“
Furthermore, Sen. Marco Rubio has been chosen as Secretary of State, despite his previous criticisms of Trump. Rubio has advocated for strong foreign alliances, including NATO, and supported Israel’s actions against Hamas. „He will serve as a strong advocate for our nation, a loyal ally to our friends, and a bold warrior who will never retreat from our enemies.“
Incoming Senate Democrat Elissa Slotkin criticizes identity politics in a 2024 review, saying it should no longer be relevant.
Rubio, 53, expressed gratitude for Trump’s trust in him and pledged to carry out the foreign policy agenda as Secretary of State.
Pete Hegseth, a combat veteran and former Fox News host, was chosen to lead the Department of Defense, despite facing scrutiny over past allegations of sexual misconduct.
