Top contenders for Trump’s second term Cabinet

By Jordi Bou

November 11, 2024 - Donald Trump has begun the process of choosing a cabinet and selecting other high-ranking administration officials who could serve in his administration when he returns to the White House in January.

On Thursday, he made the first announcement, naming his campaign co-manager Susan Summerall Wiles as his White House chief of staff.

The process is likely to emphasise loyalty to Trump and his vision for the country, and the president-elect and his team have identified a handful of close allies who will likely be either nominated for Cabinet posts or find an appointed role in his White House.

Top contenders for some of the key posts include Elon Musk, Robert F Kennedy Jr, Mike Pompeo, Richard Grenell, Scott Bessent, Tom Homan and Stephen Miller.
