Trump 2.0: Who is going to be in the US president-elect’s administration?
Al Jazeera
As a second Trump administration looms, intense jockeying for key spots in his forthcoming cabinet has begun.
Who’s in? And who’s out?
Donald Trump is carefully considering his cabinet picks following his historic presidential election victory over Democratic nominee Kamala Harris on Tuesday.
Trump had reportedly avoided detailed cabinet discussions until after the election results were clear.
Now, as names emerge, here’s a closer look at who might be part of the next administration, from seasoned Republican figures to unexpected newcomers.
Ohio Senator JD Vance has quickly risen as a prominent GOP voice, going from never-Trumper to loyal running mate. Despite once comparing Trump to Hitler, ideologically Vance is aligned with the 47th president’s MAGA base, particularly on issues like national security and US-China relations. A former venture capitalist and author, Vance is a staunch advocate of Trump’s America First agenda. He’s a sharp critic of Joe Biden’s foreign policy and will bring a populist stance to the Oval Office.
