Trump's new Cabinet picks bring unexpected changes to Washington's power circle
Trumpʼs latest Cabinet selections show a mix of fresh-faces and tv-personalities taking over key positions. The picks include several first-time achievements for traditionally under-represented groups in top government roles
Donald Trumpʼs newest Cabinet line-up brings some non-standard choices that change Washingtonʼs usual set-up. His pick Susie Wiles is gonna be the first-ever woman chief-of-staff‚ while Marco Rubio would make history as first Hispanic Secretary of State
Scott Bessent (who lives with his husband in South-Carolina) could become first openly-gay Treasury head; meanwhile Tulsi Gabbard would be first Pacific Islander to lead national intelligence work
The gender mix shows some changes: eight women got picked this time — thats double from his last term but still less than the previous admin. When it comes to non-white picks they make up about 1/5 of the total (which is lower than U.S population numbers)
The age range is pretty wide: while Trump will be oldest-ever president when he starts next winter‚ some super-young people are joining too. Elise Stefanik whose only 40 will represent U.S at UN; Karoline Leavitt at 27 gets the press secretary job
Most picks (like 16 of them) worked in government before; but its interesting that many came straight from TV jobs. Dr Mehmet Oz moves from his talk-show to run Medicare; three ex-Fox News people — Pete Hegseth‚ Sean Duffy‚ and Dr Janette Nesheiwat — are getting big jobs too
