President-elect Donald Trump and his transition team have already announced several key appointments.
Susie Wiles, who was senior adviser to the Trump campaign, will be his chief of staff. Former New York Congressman Lee Zeldin will lead the Environmental Protection Agency, and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) will be his U.N. ambassador.
Tom Homan will serve as the president’s border czar. Stephen Miller will be his deputy chief of policy, according to Vice President-elect JD Vance. Most recently, Trump announced Rep. Mike Waltz will serve as his national security adviser.
Other prospective appointments that have been reported were not confirmed to The Epoch Times by the Trump transition team. We’ll outline those prospects at the top of our rundown.
Here are some of the names that may be in play as Trump fills his cabinet and other crucial posts.
Secretary of State
Media outlets have reported that Trump is on track to name Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) as his secretary of state—a position key to the president’s foreign policy. A source familiar with the matter has confirmed this with The Epoch Times.
Other names discussed for the position include Richard Grenell, who served as ambassador to Germany during Trump’s first term, and Vivek Ramaswamy.
On X, Grenell denied claims that he is competing for the role.
Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), who has also been mentioned as a possibility, congratulated Rubio on X after he was reported to have been chosen. So did Robert C. O’Brien, who served as national security adviser (NSA) during Trump’s first term and who has also been mentioned as a contender. Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) called Rubio “a strong choice.”
Secretary of Treasury
Multiple sources have told The Epoch Times that investor Scott Bessent, a Trump donor now with Key Square Group who once worked for Soros Fund Management, is a top contender for treasury secretary.
Other names mentioned include former U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer; Larry Kudlow, who led the National Economic Council under Trump; hedge fund manager John Paulson; and Howard Lutnick, a businessman who co-chairs the transition team.
Department of Homeland Security
CNN has reported that Gov. Kristi Noem will lead the Department of Homeland Security.
Another possibility is Chad Wolf, who was an acting secretary of Homeland Security during Trump’s first term.
Secretary of Defense
O’Brien and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) have been floated for this role. So has Elbridge Colby of the Marathon Initiative, who was deputy assistant secretary of defense for strategy and force development during Trump’s first term; Ret. Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, who was Trump’s acting NSA after Ret. Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn; and former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.
Fox News has reported that Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), who leads the House Armed Services Committee, has been contacted by the transition team.
‘Department of Government Efficiency’
On the campaign trail, Trump pledged that one of his crucial backers, SpaceX founder Elon Musk, would be empowered to lead a commission focused on cutting costs in the federal government. In his pre-election appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the entrepreneur said that D.O.G.E., a reference to the Musk-linked Dogecoin and the Shiba Inu doge meme, would be “the funniest name” for the entity.
Attorney General
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) is among the names mentioned in connection with this role. Ken Paxton, Texas’s attorney general, and Matt Whitaker, who was an acting attorney general during Trump’s first term, may also be under consideration.
There’s also John Ratcliffe, a former congressman who served as director of national intelligence (DNI) under Trump, and Jeffrey Clark, who was Trump’s assistant attorney general for the environment and natural resources division and who partook in challenging the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
U.S. Trade Representative
