The article from MSN provides an in-depth look at former President Donald Trump's cabinet, focusing on the political experience of its members prior to their nominations. It highlights that while Trump often portrayed himself as an outsider bringing in new faces to Washington, several of his appointees had significant political backgrounds. For instance, Mike Pence, Trump's Vice President, had served as a Congressman and Governor of Indiana. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, although primarily known for his business career at ExxonMobil, had some indirect political experience through international diplomacy. Attorney General Jeff Sessions was a long-time Senator from Alabama, deeply involved in politics. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, while not a politician, came from a politically influential family with ties to education policy. The article also notes figures like Ben Carson, who had no direct political experience but was appointed to Housing and Urban Development due to his celebrity status and outsider perspective. Overall, the piece underscores the mix of political veterans and novices in Trump's administration, illustrating a blend of experience levels and backgrounds.
