Trump agriculture nominee, Brooke Rollins, clears key Senate hurdle ahead of confirmation vote
Fox News
Rollins, the former president and CEO of the America First Policy Institute, had earned broad support from farmers and growers' groups ahead of the committee vote.
Rollins, who served as a White House aide during Trump's first administration and then as the president and CEO of the America First Policy Institute, is widely viewed as an uncontroversial nominee. Breanne Deppisch is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital covering the 2024 election and other national news.
Her nomination earned the backing of a coalition of more than 415 farmers, agricultural, and growers groups earlier this month. Signatories urged the Senate to swiftly confirm Rollins, praising what they described as her foundational knowledge of agriculture, as well as her policy and business bona fides that they said made her uniquely qualified for the role of U.S. agriculture secretary.
