After winning the presidential election, Donald Trump started appointing cabinet members and filling other important posts in his government. It is anticipated that each member of this team would directly influence the president-elect’s second-term policy implementation.
Trump overcame assassination attempts, criminal convictions, and a shift in his political opponent to win the 2024 presidential election in a remarkable comeback. He will shortly be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States in the US Capitol.
