Coming from diverse backgrounds, the president-elect’s Cabinet selections bring a variety of skills to the new government.
Washington DC, Jan.10 (DPnet).– President-elect Donald Trump has spent the weeks since his November 5th, 2024 election victory rolling out picks for top White House staff positions, ambassadors, and department heads to fill his incoming administration. He has swiftly announced his selections for his next Cabinet and key administration posts. The Cabinet mainly consists of the vice president, the leaders of 23 executive departments, and several other top positions. All permanent members of the Cabinet of the United States as heads of executive departments (among them 8 women) require the advice and consent of the United States Senate following appointment by the President before taking office.
The president may also designate heads of other agencies and non-Senate-confirmed members of the Executive Office of the President as Cabinet-level members of the Cabinet. The Cabinet meets with the president in the Cabinet Room, adjacent to the Oval Office. Trump’s selections come from diverse backgrounds, with many hailing from the business world outside Washington politics. Two of the nominees also come from across the political aisle, as former members of the Democratic Party.
Here is a brief overview of what Trump’s nominees will bring to the table in his second administration:
