“Understanding Trump’s New Cabinet: The Series”

Every president’s Cabinet leaves its mark on the country, and President-elect Trump’s picks suggest a focus on conservative priorities. Here’s what his team could mean for the next four years.  

Foreign Policy

With Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, Trump’s administration is expected to take a tough stance on countries like China and Cuba. Elise Stefanik, the pick for U.N. Ambassador, may push for reforms in how the U.N. operates.  

Law and Order

Matt Gaetz as Attorney General signals a focus on conservative legal policies, while Todd Blanche as Deputy Attorney General may oversee high-profile cases.  

Health and Environment

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s leadership at Health and Human Services could bring debates about vaccines and public health to the forefront. Meanwhile, Lee Zeldin, nominated as EPA Administrator, is expected to reduce environmental regulations.  

Immigration and Border Security  

Tom Homan’s role as “Border Czar” emphasizes a hardline approach to immigration. With Kristi Noem leading Homeland Security, this team may prioritize building Trump’s proposed border wall.  

Energy and Economy

Chris Wright, nominated for Secretary of Energy, could push for more domestic energy production, while Howard Lutnick as Commerce Secretary is likely to focus on business-friendly policies.  

Education and Veterans

Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education may bring a business-minded approach to schools, while Doug Collins as Secretary of Veterans Affairs could focus on improving services for veterans.
