Full list of Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks and White House appointments

With Inauguration Day around the corner, President-elect Donald Trump has already named many of his loyalists to Cabinet and administration positions for his second term.

Some of his picks have drawn controversy. Among them was his choice of military veteran and Fox News host Pete Hegseth, who does not have government experience. Some GOP members were shocked when Trump nominated former Florida Rep Matt Gaetz for attorney general – though he withdrew amid sex trafficking allegations and has been replaced by former Florida Attorney General Pat Bondi. Trump also turned heads by picking former Democrat and anti-vaccine activist Robert F Kennedy Jr to be Health and Human Services secretary.

Outside of Cabinet positions requiring Senate approval, Trump has broken from tradition with some West Wing appointments. Namely, he announced a new Department of Government Efficiency with X owner Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy in charge.

Still, some spots remain unfilled. As Trump’s return to the White House on January 20 draws closer, who will carry out his agenda and how are beginning to shape up. See the list of Trump’s appointees so far below.

State secretary: Marco Rubio

Florida Senator Marco Rubio put Trump’s past ‘Little Marco’ insults aside and campaigned for him, ultimately earning him the nomination for arguably the most coveted Cabinet position. A senator since 2010, Rubio serves at the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee and has been tough toward China, Cuba, Iran and Venezuela.

Attorney general: Pam Bondi

After Gaetz withdrew last week, Trump quickly turned to longtime confidant Pam Bondi for the attorney general role.

‘Pam was a prosecutor for nearly 20 years, where she was very tough on violent criminals, and made the streets safe for Florida Families,’ wrote Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. 

‘Then, as Florida’s first female attorney general, she worked to stop the trafficking of deadly drugs, and reduce the tragedy of fentanyl overdose deaths, which have destroyed many families across our country.’

Defense secretary: Pete Hegseth

Hegseth joined Fox News after deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq and winning two Bronze Stars. Critics have pointed to his many tattoos, and allege that some of them are white supremacist symbols. Despite the backlash, the Republican Party has largely backed Trump’s pick.

‘Pete is tough, smart and a true believer in America First,’ stated Trump.

‘With Pete at the helm, America´s enemies are on notice – Our Military will be Great Again, and America will Never Back Down.’

National intelligence director: Tulsi Gabbard

Former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard previously served as a lieutenant colonel in the US Army and in the Hawaii House of Representatives. She left the Democratic Party and recently announced she joined the GOP and rallied for Trump. Gabbard has criticized ‘weaponization’ of the intelligence community and put blame on the Biden administration.

Health and human services secretary: Robert F Kennedy Jr

Kennedy, former US president John F Kennedy’s nephew, ended his Democratic bid for president then ran as an independent, but suspended that campaign and threw his support to Trump. During his campaign, strange bits from Kennedy’s past emerged, including him admitting that he has a worm in his brain and that he dumped a bear cub carcass in a New York City park. Kennedy has vowed to make America healthy again.

Medicare and Medicaid administrator: Mehmet Oz

Former Senate candidate and TV personality Dr Mehmet Oz had an award-winning syndicated talk show in which he gave health, medicine and wellness advice. He is set to work closely with Kennedy to tackle the ‘industrial illness complex’, Trump said.

‘He will also cut waste and fraud within our Country’s most expensive Government Agency, which is a third of our Nation’s Healthcare spend, and a quarter of our entire National Budget,’ stated Trump.

CIA director: John Ratcliffe

Trump has chosen his former Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, to lead the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

‘From exposing fake Russian collusion to be a Clinton campaign operation, to catching the FBI ’s abuse of Civil Liberties at the FISA Court, John Ratcliffe has always been a warrior for Truth and Honesty with the American Public,’ stated Trump.

‘When 51 intelligence officials were lying about Hunter Biden ’s laptop, there was one, John Ratcliffe, telling the truth to the American People.’

Secretary of Homeland Security: Kristi Noem

South Dakota Governor Kristin Noem has long been loyal to Trump but was unable to pursue the vice presidential running mate position after admitting to shooting her puppy. Trump brushed that controversial detail aside by saying that Noem was having ‘a bad week’.

‘I think she’s terrific,’ stated Trump in May.

‘A couple of rough stories, there’s not question about it. And when explained – the dog story – people hear that and people from different parts of the country probably feel a bit differently, but that’s a tough story.’

Environmental Protection Agency administrator: Lee Zeldin

Former Congressman Lee Zeldin challenged New York Governor Kathy Hochul in 2022 and lost only narrowly in the Democratic stronghold state. Zeldin has vowed to ‘restore American energy dominance’.

‘We will restore US energy dominance, revitalize our auto industry to bring back American jobs, and make the US the global leader of AI. We will do so while protecting access to clean air and water,’ said Zeldin.
