President-elect Donald Trump and his transition team have already announced several key appointments. Other prospective appointments that have been reported were not confirmed to The Epoch Times by the Trump transition team. We’ll outline those prospects at the top of our rundown.
Other names discussed for the position include Richard Grenell, who served as ambassador to Germany during Trump’s first term, and Vivek Ramaswamy. On X, Grenell denied claims that he is competing for the role. In a post on X, Rep.
Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) has hinted at his openness to the role while saying the Trump team has not given him any “commitments or offers.” In a phone interview with The Epoch Times, Miller said no one has reached out to him so far regarding the position.
He recalled that when he was last in the running for agriculture secretary, after Trump’s election in 2016, he wasn’t interviewed until late December. This time, though, “things are going pretty fast,” he said. Other important posts Trump could soon fill include science adviser, administrator of the Small Business Administration, chair of the Council of Economic Advisors, Food and Drug Administration commissioner, White House press secretary, and director of national intelligence.
