The Hindu
President-elect Donald Trump fills key posts in his second administration with loyalists and allies, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.
After being elected as the 47th President of the United States Donald Trump is filling key posts in his second administration, putting an emphasis so far on aides and allies who were his strongest backers during the 2024 campaign
President-elect Mr. Trump has turned to a head-spinning mix of candidates, many of whom are his personal friends. Others are familiar faces on Fox News Channel or other conservative outlets. Some have extensive experience in the areas they’ve been chosen to lead, while others have seemingly none. Some seem chosen to shock and awe, some to reassure, and others to unleash chaos.
Here are some of the names who got important positions in Trump’s cabinet:
Department of Health and Human Services: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will lead the Department of Health and Human Services, putting him in charge of a massive agency that oversees everything from drug, vaccine, and food safety to medical research and the social safety net programs Medicare and Medicaid.
A longtime vaccine sceptic, Mr. Kennedy is an attorney who has built a loyal following over several decades of people who admire his lawsuits against major pesticide and pharmaceutical companies. He has pushed for tighter regulations around the ingredients in foods.
Attorney General: Matt Gaetz
