Who Has Trump Picked For Cabinet? Bessent, Chavez-DeRemer Join Nominees

"Donald Trump is closing out the week with another batch of Cabinet nominations Friday.

The president-elect has picked former Soros Fund Management chief investment officer Scott Bessent to be the next Treasury secretary. Through the Cabinet position Bessent would help maintain the U.S. Dollar's status as the "Reserve Currency of the World," Trump said in a statement.

Trump also nominated Project 2025 contributor Russell Vought as Office of Management and Budget director, assisting the president with his agenda. Later he tapped Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer to lead the Labor Department, Fox News medical contributor Dr. Janette Nesheiwat to serve as the U.S. Surgeon General, and motivational speaker Scott Turner to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development."
