President-elect Donald Trump nominated his former White House aide Brooke Rollins for secretary of agriculture Saturday. The announcement—part of a rapid pace of appointments—closes out Trump's list of 15 Cabinet advisers requiring Senate confirmation.
Among the final nominations announced this weekend were hedge fund manager Scott Bessent—an advocate for tax cuts and deficit reform—to lead the Treasury Department. Trump also named pro-union Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R, OH-5) as his pick for labor secretary and former Texas politician and NFL star Scott Turner to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Trump also rounded out key health positions, selecting former Florida congressman Dr. Dave Weldon (R) to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; Johns Hopkins professor Dr. Marty Makary to lead the Food and Drug Administration; and Fox News contributor Dr. Janette Nesheiwat as surgeon general.
