Who has Trump picked for his cabinet and administration so far? A running list.

President-elect Donald Trump is beginning to assign key members of his cabinet and administration on the heels of his win last week.

So far, he’s tapped a group of aides and allies who supported him during his 2024 campaign. As news of who he’s selected and who he’s eyeing for other slots continues to unfold, this list will continue to be updated.

Here are Trump’s picks so far.

Susie Wiles, 67, was a senior adviser to Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign and its de facto manager. She’s a veteran of Florida politics, having worked with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Gov. Rick Scott, and two former Republican Jacksonville mayors. Wiles will become the first woman to hold the role of White House chief of staff, a powerful position that can shape a president’s impact.

Mike Waltz is a three-term GOP representative from east-central Florida. He served multiple tours in Afghanistan and also worked in the Pentagon as a policy adviser under defense chiefs Donald Rumsfeld and Robert Gates.

Trump asked Waltz, a retired Army National Guard officer, to be his national security adviser, a person familiar with the matter told the Associated Press. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the matter before Trump made a formal announcement.

Tom Homan, 62, who previously led U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Trump’s first term, was anticipated to be tapped by Trump to carry out the president-elect’s goal of the largest deportation operation in U.S. history.

Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem will serve as Trump’s homeland security secretary according to the Washington Post and other outlets. The critical role, given Trump’s emphasis on border security, would oversee a $60 billion budget and more than 230,000 employees.

Elise Stefanik is a representative from New York and one of Trump’s staunchest defenders. Stefanik, 40, was elected to the House in 2014 and has served as the House Republican Conference chair since 2021. She replaced former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney (R., Wyo.) after Cheney was removed following her criticism of Trump when he falsely claimed he won the 2020 election. Stefanik’s questioning of university leaders over antisemitism on their campuses led to two president resignations, including Liz Magill at the University of Pennsylvania, and raised her national profile.

Trump announced he was nominating former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee as U.S. ambassador to Israel. Huckabee has been a longtime defender of Israel. His nomination poises the Trump administration to align U.S. foreign policy more closely with Israel’s interests amid the ongoing war.

Stephen Miller served as a senior adviser in Trump’s first administration. He was considered a central figure in some of Trump’s policy decisions, including his move to separate thousands of immigrant families for which he was a vocal spokesperson. Miller, 39, also served as president of America First Legal, an organization comprised of former Trump advisers that challenged President Joe Biden’s administration and other groups over free speech issues.

Former New York Rep. Lee Zeldin will lead the Environmental Protection Agency despite his lack of experience in environmental issues. The 44-year-old former U.S. House member is a longtime Trump supporter. In a statement, Trump said Zeldin would make quick deregulatory decisions, rolling back protections the Biden administration put in place, adding that the United States would have the “cleanest air and water on the planet.”

Trump announced Marco Rubio, the Florida GOP senator, as his pick for Secretary of State. The duo were once political rivals, both vying for the 2016 Republican presidency nomination, but an alliance has unfolded. Rubio shares many of Trump’s right-aligned views when it comes to foreign policy. “Marco is a highly respected leader, and a very powerful voice for freedom,” Trump said in his announcement.

President-elect Donald Trump moved to build out his national security team, announcing he is nominating Fox News host and Army veteran Pete Hegseth to serve as his defense secretary, and John Ratcliffe, former director of national intelligence, to lead the Central Intelligence Agency. Hegseth, 44, cohosts Fox & Friends Weekend and has been a network contributor since 2014, where he developed a friendship with Trump. He lacks senior military or national security experience.

John Ratcliffe, former director of national intelligence, has been tapped by Trump to lead the CIA. Ratcliffe, a former Republican congressman from Texas, served as director of national intelligence for the final months of Trump’s first term, leading the U.S. government’s spy agencies during the coronavirus pandemic. He is a more traditional pick for the role, which requires Senate confirmation, than some rumored loyalists pushed by some of Trump’s supporters.

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and owner of X, has been tapped by Trump along with Republican entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to lead what they’re calling the “Department of Government Efficiency,” or DOGE, a nod to the cryptocurrency of the same name. In his announcement about the initiative, Trump said the pair would “pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies.”

Dan Scavino, a former golf caddie who became one of Trump’s most trusted aides, will serve as Trump’s assistant and a deputy chief of staff under Wiles. Scavino was a senior adviser on the Trump campaign. He was one of the few people Trump trusted to post tweets signed under Trump’s name.

James Blair, a former political director for the Trump campaign, has also been named one of Trump’s assistants as well as deputy chief of staff for legislative, political, and public affairs. Blair was a director of this election cycle’s Republican National Committee, where he managed staff and oversaw “political operations and programs,” a statement said.

Taylor Budowich, who previously worked in a senior role in Trump’s Save America PAC and who also served as CEO of the pro-Trump Super PAC, MAGA Inc., will serve in the deputy role and as one of Trump’s assistants.

Trump has chosen Tulsi Gabbard, a former Congress member and presidential candidate, to serve as director of national intelligence. In his announcement, Trump touted the former Democrat for her Army service. But critics say she lacks experience in intelligence matters and are concerned with her past stances on foreign affairs. Gabbard opposed U.S. interventions in Ukraine and Syria and often suggested the U.S. provoke Russia into aggressive policies.

Congressman Matt Gaetz has been nominated by Trump to serve as his attorney general, positioning a loyalist for the role of the nation’s top prosecutor. Gaetz currently represents Florida’s 1st District in the House of Representatives, which he’s served in since 2017. He’s likely to face scrutiny regarding an ongoing review of allegations that Gaetz engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, along with other ethical issues like abusing special privileges. Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing. A Justice Department probe into allegations that he obstructed justice and violated sex trafficking laws closed last year. In a statement, Trump said Gaetz would protect borders and dismantle criminal organizations.

Trump has chosen Todd Blanche, the attorney who led the legal team that defended him at his hush money criminal trial, to serve as the second-highest ranking Justice Department official. Blanche has served as a key figure on Trump’s defense team, both in the New York case that ended in a conviction in May and the federal cases brought by Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith. Trump said Blanche would be a “crucial leader.” In this role, he would manage the day-to-day operations of the sprawling Justice Department, which Trump has vowed to radically overhaul.

Trump’s plan to appoint Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services would put a prominent vaccine skeptic at the helm of the nation’s sprawling public health landscape. Kennedy made a name in his own right as an environmental attorney who successfully took on large corporations. But over the past two decades, he’s increasingly devoted his energy to promoting claims about vaccines that contradict the overwhelming consensus of scientists. Kennedy would lead the agency that oversees everything from drug, vaccine, and food safety to medical research and the social safety net programs Medicare and Medicaid. But whether the Senate — even with a Republican majority — will confirm Kennedy remains a question.

Trump announced Thursday that he would appoint Doug Collins to lead the Veterans Affairs Department in his new administration. The former Republican congressman from Georgia would lead the agency tasked with providing health care to former United States armed forces members. Collins, 58, is a Baptist minister who served in the Navy and Air Force Reserve. He rose to national notice during the Robert Mueller probe into Trump regarding Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Bill McGinley, who served as Trump’s cabinet secretary during his first term as president, has been tapped by the president-elect to be his White House counsel this time. The Republican campaign lawyer will take on one of the most powerful positions in the White House, providing legal advice to Trump and his team on policy issues, ethical matters, and congressional oversight. McGinley would serve as the main position between Trump and the Justice Department.

Another one of Trump’s attorneys, Dean John Sauer, was named solicitor general, representing the federal government at the high court. Sauer was part of Trump’s defense team during his case regarding his involvement with the Jan. 6 insurrection. Sauer spent six years as Missouri’s solicitor general. He was also once a law clerk to Justice Antonin Scalia. If confirmed, his role would entail representing the United States during key arguments at the Supreme Court. He’d also lead the staff of lawyers at the Justice Department handling high-court litigation.

Trump named Brendan Carr, the senior Republican on the Federal Communications Commission, as the new chairman of the agency tasked with regulating broadcasting, telecommunications, and broadband. Carr is a longtime commission member who served previously as the FCC’s general counsel. He has been unanimously confirmed by the Senate three times and was nominated by both Trump and President Joe Biden to the commission. The FCC is an independent agency that Congress oversees, but Trump has suggested he wanted to bring it under tighter White House control, in part to use the agency to punish TV networks that cover him in a way he doesn’t like.

Trump announced he was nominating former Wisconsin Rep. Sean Duffy for transportation secretary. Duffy is a former reality TV star from MTV’s Real World who later went on to cohost Fox Business’ The Bottom Line after leaving Congress in 2019. He was one of Trump’s most visible defenders on cable news — a prime concern for the media-focused president-elect. Duffy served in the House for nearly nine years, was a member of the Financial Services Committee and chairman of the subcommittee on insurance and housing. In his announcement, Trump noted that Duffy is married to a Fox News host, calling him “the husband of a wonderful woman, Rachel Campos-Duffy, a STAR on Fox News.” Duffy is the second Fox-affiliated TV host named to Trump’s cabinet so far.

The governor of North Dakota, who was once little-known outside his state, Burgum is a former Republican presidential primary contender who endorsed Trump, and spent months traveling to drum up support for him, after dropping out of the race. Burgum was also a serious contender to be Trump’s vice presidential choice this summer. The two-term governor was seen as a possible pick because of his executive experience and business savvy. Burgum also has close ties to deep-pocketed energy industry CEOs. Trump made the announcement about Burgum joining his incoming administration while addressing a gala at his Mar-a-Lago club.

A campaign donor and CEO of Denver-based Liberty Energy, Wright is a vocal advocate of oil and gas development, including fracking — a key pillar of Trump’s quest to achieve U.S. “energy dominance” in the global market. Wright also has been one of the industry’s loudest voices against efforts to fight climate change. He said the climate movement around the world is “collapsing under its own weight.” The Energy Department is responsible for advancing energy, environmental and nuclear security of the United States.

In a statement Tuesday, Trump announced he was selecting TV personality Mehmet Oz, known as “Dr. Oz,” to oversee Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program. The role — which the Senate must confirm — oversees the programs that provide health care to over 100 million Americans. Oz lost his 2022 race for a Pennsylvania Senate seat to John Fetterman — despite a Trump endorsement and the fact that Fetterman suffered a stroke during the primary — by more than 260,000 votes. He was often criticized for not spending time in Pennsylvania despite running for a seat that would represent the state.

Trump tapped billionaire professional wrestling mogul Linda McMahon to be secretary of the Education Department, tasked with overseeing an agency he has promised to dismantle. McMahon led the Small Business Administration during Trump’s initial term from 2017 to 2019 and twice ran unsuccessfully as a Republican for the U.S. Senate in Connecticut. She served on the Connecticut Board of Education for a year starting in 2009 and has spent years on the board of trustees for Sacred Heart University in Connecticut. She’s seen as a relative unknown in education circles, though she has expressed support for charter schools and school choice.

Trump named Wall Street executive Howard Lutnick to lead the Commerce Department. He’s a cryptocurrency enthusiast and head of brokerage and investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald. Lutnick will have a key role in carrying out Trump’s plan to raise and enforce tariffs. On Trump’s social media platform, Truth Social, he said Lutnick would also be responsible for the Office of the United States Representative.
