Since Trump’s landslide victory last week, names of the upcoming members of Trump’s cabinet are beginning to leak out, as the President-Elect decides who his key advisors will be.
Here is a roundup of the key names:
Chief of Staff: Susie Wiles – Wiles was publicly thanked by Trump at his victory speech late on election night, and has been given a lot of credit for Trump’s successful campaign.
In a statement, Trump said: “Susie is tough, smart, innovative and is universally admired and respected. Susie will continue to work tirelessly to Make America Great Again. It is a well deserved honor to have Susie as the first-ever female Chief of Staff in United States history. I have no doubt that she will make our country proud.”
United Nations Ambassador: Elise Stefanik – Stefanik is a Representative from New York and the current House GOP Conference Chair. She rose to prominence last year for her brutal takedown of University Presidents over their serious failures to address antisemitism on their campuses.

National Security Advisor: Michael Waltz – The Florida Republican representative and former Army Green Beret was announced by Trump as his pick for national security advisor on Tuesday. Waltz is considered to be a hawk when it comes to China and Iran.
Trump said in a statement: “Mike retired as a Colonel, and is a nationally recognized leader in National Security, a bestselling author, and an expert on the threats posed by China, Russia, Iran, and global terrorism.
Mike has been a strong champion of my America First Foreign Policy agenda, and will be a tremendous champion of our pursuit of Peace through Strength!”
Israel Ambassador: Mike Huckabee – The former Governor of Arkansas, Huckabee is a devout Evangelical Christian and a huge supporter of the State of Israel. He has been an outspoken supporter of Jewish communities in Yehuda and Shomron, and once joked he would like to buy a house in Efrat.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said: “Mike will work tirelessly to bring about Peace in the Middle East!”
EPA Administrator: Lee Zeldin – Zeldin is a former House Republican from New York, who lost a close race for Governor to Kathy Hochul in 2022. His strong showing in a blue state reportedly drew the attention of Republican leaders around the country. Zeldin has limited experience with environmental issues. In the past, he has called to lift New York’s ban of fracking, and supported measures to protect the Long Island Sound.
Secretary of State: Marco Rubio – Once dubbed ‘Little Marco” by Trump in a debate, the Republican Senator from Florida is reportedly Trump’s new pick for top US diplomat, after being considered a frontrunner for the Vice President role earlier this year. Rubio is loudly Pro-Israel, and is also considered to be a hawk on China and Iran.
“Border Czar”: Tom Homan – While ‘Border Czar” is not an official cabinet role, Trump has decided to select Homan, the former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, to lead the mass deportation efforts promised during the campaign. Homan was a staunch supporter of the zero-tolerance policy during Trump’s first administration, one that led to backlash over family separations at the border.
Having worked under both parties dating back to the Reagan era, Homan is very experienced on the issue of immigration, and is considered to be a serious hardliner. With liberal backlash likely coming if Trump follows through on his mass deportation campaign promise, Homan has said: “Frankly, I don’t care what people think about me, especially on the left.”
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said: “I’ve known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders.
Likewise, Tom Homan will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin. Congratulations to Tom. I have no doubt he will do a fantastic, and long awaited for, job.”
