Caroline Levitt appointed White House Press Secretary, checked the full list of Trump's Cabinet.
Donald Trump, who has been re-elected as the President of America, is finalizing the names for important posts for his second term and this is quite different from his first administration. He is giving priority to trusted people for top posts. In this connection, the newly elected President of America, Donald Trump, has announced the appointment of Caroline Levitt as the White House Press Secretary.
Trump was troubled by internal strife in the early part of his first term. Now it seems that he is focusing on changing the federal government in his image. Despite the Republican majority in the US Senate, some of his names may have to struggle to get approved.
Cabinet nominees so far
Secretary of State: Trump has nominated Florida Senator Marco Rubio as Secretary of State. Rubio (53) is known for keeping a close eye on the affairs of China, Cuba, and Iran. He was in the race to become the Republican Party's vice presidential candidate last summer. Rubio is the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Attorney General: Trump said on Wednesday that he would appoint Florida House member Matt Gage as his attorney general. He has chosen his loyalist for the role of the country's top prosecutor.
Director of National Intelligence: Trump has appointed former Hawaii MP Tulsi Gabbard as the Director of National Intelligence, another example of Trump valuing loyalty over experience. Gabbard (43) unsuccessfully sought the presidential nomination in 2020, before leaving the Democratic Party in 2022. She endorsed Trump in August and also campaigned with him.
Defense Secretary: Pete Hegseth (44) is the co-host of Fox News Channel's Fox & Friends Weekend and has been with the network since 2014. He developed a friendship with Trump, who regularly appeared on his show.
Home Secretary: Kristi Noem is a well-known conservative who during her two terms elevated South Dakota to a prominent position in Republican politics. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Noem did not order restrictions while other states did. Instead, she declared her state open for business.
CIA Director: John Ratcliffe was the director of national intelligence during the last year and a half of Trump's first term, leading the US government's spy agencies during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Secretary of Health and Human Services: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ran for president first as a Democrat, then as an independent candidate. Later, he supported Trump. He is the son of Democrat leader Robert Kennedy, who was assassinated while he was campaigning for the presidency.
Interior Secretary: Doug Burgum, the governor of North Dakota, was once little known outside his state. Burgum was a contender in the Republican presidential primaries. Later, he endorsed Trump and spent months touring to drum up support for him.
Chief of Staff: Sue Wills (67), was a senior adviser and de facto manager of Trump's 2024 presidential campaign.
National Security Advisor: Mike Waltz is a three-term congressman from east-central Florida. He is a former Army Green Beret. He did several tours of Afghanistan and also served as a policy adviser at the Pentagon when Donald Rumsfeld and Robert Gates were defense chiefs. He has a tough stance towards China. He called for a boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing because of China's involvement in the origin of Covid-19 and its mistreatment of the minority Muslim Uighur population.
Border czar: Tom Homan, 62, has been given Trump's top-priority job of running the largest deportation campaign in the nation's history.
Special Envoy for the Middle East: Steven Witkoff (67), plays golf with the newly elected president. He was playing golf with him at Trump's club in West Palm Beach, Florida on September 15 when the former president was attacked for the second time.
