Meet Trump's White House Transition Team: Linda McMahon To RFK Jr

Send Push

In a break from his approach in 2016, Donald Trump has enlisted two strong allies from the private sector — Howard Lutnick and Linda McMahon — to lead his transition efforts. Lutnick is responsible for personnel, while McMahon is overseeing policy.Meet President Trump’s transition team: Howard Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald @HowardLutnickLinda McMahon, former SBA head - @Linda_McMahon JD Vance, Vice President - @JDVance Robert F. Kennedy Jr., environmental lawyer - @RobertKennedyJrTulsi Gabbard, Congresswoman - @TulsiGabbard Donald Trump Jr. - @DonaldJTrumpJrEric Trump - @EricTrumpMeanwhile, President-elect Donald Trump has named Susie Wiles, the manager of his victorious campaign, as his White House chief of staff, the first woman to ever hold the influential role.Wiles is widely credited within and outside Trump’s inner circle for running what was, by far, his most disciplined and well-executed campaign, and was seen as the leading contender for the position. She largely avoided the spotlight, even refusing to take the mic to speak as Trump celebrated his victory early Wednesday morning.She was able to do what few others have been able to: help control Trump’s worst impulses — not by chiding him or lecturing, but by earning his respect and showing him that he was better off when he followed her advice than flouted it.President-elect Donald Trump and his team is working at Mar-a-Lago to get the best picks for the 47th president’s administration, The New York Post reported citing an aide. The transition team and its working is much different than the one that sat down at Trump Tower eight years ago, when reports of infighting and public jockeying emerged. “There’s a lot more alignment, policy-wise, this time with the transition team than there was in 2016,” an aide told The Post.A second person told the publication that the transition teams are led by 'longtime Republican figures rather than political novices and clashing personalities'.On Thursday, Trump announced that his campaign manager Susie Wiles will be his White House Chief Of Staff. Other likely cabinet picks are:Department of Treasury: Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has emerged as a strong candidate, leveraging his financial background to handle national fiscal policies.Department of Homeland Security: Former acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf is reportedly a leading choice.State Department: Senator Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, who served as ambassador to Japan under Trump, is thought to be a top contender.Department of Defense: North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum may be under consideration.Department of Justice: Senator Eric Schmitt from Missouri has been mentioned for the role of Attorney General.Department of Education: Vivek Ramaswamy, an entrepreneur and political figure with reformist views on education, is seen as a likely pick to revamp educational policy.Tesla chief Elon Musk and Robert F Kennedy Jr are also expected to play key roles, if not in the cabinet, as Trump takes over the White House.
