"At least half a dozen names are already circulating as President Trump prepares to name a successor for outgoing Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke.

One big question: Will Trump opt for a political operator or a skilled lawyer already hard at work behind the scenes?

Among the potential candidates is Deputy Secretary David Bernhardt, a former lobbyist who has already faced a Senate confirmation fight.

Also in the mix are veteran Republican lawmakers like outgoing Sen. Dean Heller of Nevada and Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington and Raúl Labrador of Idaho."
