Here’s who could be in Trump’s cabinet as transition team, president-elect strategize

President-elect Donald Trump — fresh off his emphatic victory over Vice President Kamala Harris — is spending Wednesday with his team in Palm Beach strategizing about how to fill out his second administration. NY Post Politics Reporter Diana Glebova shares this story.

The Trump transition team has been at work for months and is preparing for an internal “unveiling,” campaign adviser Brian Hughes told The Post — though the discussion among aides this week is expected to focus on process rather than particular nominees.

Sources close to the Trump campaign said they expect a series of Republican Senate victories to ease Trump’s return to power — allowing him greater flexibility to go with his gut and pick cabinet secretaries who align with his populist policies.

Most of the transition work is expected to take place at Trump’s compound at Mar-a-Lago, Hughes said — where allies and advisers have long gathered to bend the ear of the president-elect.

In addition to cabinet secretaries, there are about 4,000 presidential nominees in the executive branch who do not require Senate confirmation — with those picks fleshing out the federal bureaucracy and shaping its configuration.

Tulsi and Vivek need to be given powerful positions. They will be loyal to the Commander in Chief.

Give Tulsi Hilary’s old job - Sec of State to undo all the Hilary’s mistakes during the Obama administration.

Then, we’ll make Tulsi the first female POTUS.

That’d drive Hilary mad!

[danschwartz]

Thank you Jesus for having Mercy on us!

[VeronicaRainone-es]

Donald Trump needs to think long and hard about who he wants in each post. This administration is going to be Camelot! Tulsi Gabbard or Marco Rubio would make an excellent Secretary of State. RFK needs to head up the FDA!
