President-elect Donald Trump will be surrounded by an almost entirely new team when he assembles his Cabinet next year.
Trump has now named his picks for all 15 executive departments and for some of the senior slots that are typically given Cabinet-rank. If confirmed by the Senate, most of Trump’s picks will be newcomers to the executive branch.
The fresh slate of incoming Trump officials signals the president-elect wants a different approach to governing in his second stint in the White House after a first term that was marked by high Cabinet turnover, infighting among senior staff and steady leaks to the press.
“President-Elect Trump has made brilliant decisions on who will serve in his second Administration at lightning pace,” Trump transition spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.
