Maddow Blog | Trump's new team marked by ex-cons, billionaires and failed candidates

^{Published on 2024-12-09 13:41:07 - MSN}

There are a surprising number of common denominators tying together Trump's personnel decisions for his second term
and the curious list keeps growing.

The article from MSNBC's Maddow Blog discusses the composition of Donald Trump's new team as he campaigns for the 2024 presidential election. It highlights that Trump's team includes individuals with controversial backgrounds: ex-cons, billionaires, and failed political candidates. Key figures mentioned include former Trump aide Peter Navarro, who was convicted of contempt of Congress, and Corey Lewandowski, who faced legal issues for battery. The team also features wealthy individuals like Elon Musk, who has been in discussions with Trump, and failed candidates like Kari Lake, who lost the Arizona gubernatorial race but remains a prominent Trump supporter. The article suggests that this mix of characters reflects Trump's strategy of surrounding himself with loyalists and those who can fund his campaign, despite their checkered pasts or lack of political success.
