President-elect Donald Trump has defied media predictions by selecting seasoned Capitol Hill veterans for key positions in his administration, such as Marco Rubio for secretary of State and Kristi Noem for Homeland Security secretary. Trump is trying to demonstrate a seriousness about governing by quickly rolling out these appointments and hitting the ground running. While some in the MAGA movement are disappointed, even top Democrats are praising the choice of Rubio, who will be the face of American foreign policy as he travels around the world. Trump has also chosen other experienced individuals who know how Washington works for various positions in his administration.
