  • Some of Donald Trump's picks for his cabinet are expected to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate this week after the chamber held more than a dozen confirmation hearings last week. More hearings for other nominees are scheduled for this week.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's potential picks for his Cabinet and other top positions should he win the 2024 presidential election. Key points include Trump's interest in reappointing loyalists from his previous administration, such as former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and considering new figures like Sen. J.D. Vance for roles like vice president or in the Cabinet. Trump has also expressed interest in bringing back individuals like John Ratcliffe for intelligence roles and has considered figures like Robert Lighthizer for trade positions. Additionally, Trump has hinted at a significant overhaul of the federal bureaucracy, aiming to replace many current officials with those more aligned with his "America First" policies. The article also notes Trump's intention to possibly appoint controversial figures like Kash Patel to high-level positions, indicating a potential shift towards more ideologically aligned appointees.
