Trump’s first major appointment was Susie Wiles as chief of staff, marking a historic milestone as she becomes the first woman to hold this crucial position. Wiles, who orchestrated Trump’s successful campaign comeback, will oversee administration staffing alongside Vice President-elect JD Vance and Donald Trump Jr.
The administration’s communications team will be led by 27-year-old Karoline Leavitt, making her the youngest-ever White House press secretary. Leavitt brings experience from her previous role in Trump’s first administration and her work with MAGA Inc.
“For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans – Not anymore,” Trump said, announcing former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as his choice for Attorney General.
Other significant appointments include former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem as Homeland Security Secretary, and Rep. Elise Stefanik as UN Ambassador. Stefanik stated, “America continues to be the beacon of the world, but we expect and must demand that our friends and allies be strong partners in the peace we seek.”
