President-elect Donald Trump is quickly assembling his cabinet, naming people he expects to shift America away from the Biden administration's agenda once he reclaims the Oval Office. Trump is pushing to stack his administration with loyal members of Congress, but Republicans are running out of the bodies they need to preserve their narrow House majority. Trump has also demanded that Senate Republicans surrender their role in vetting his nominees. Separately, Trump said that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would lead the 'Department of Government Efficiency,' driving 'drastic change' throughout the government through major cuts to the federal budget. Trump will nominate Pete Hegseth, a veteran and Fox News host, as his defense secretary.
