Trump’s Cabinet: Here Are His Picks And Finalists For White House Roles—Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, And More

As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office, his administration’s lineup is slowly taking shape, with several key figures being selected for top positions. These picks include familiar allies and staunch supporters who are expected to push forward Trump’s agenda on national security, immigration, energy, and foreign relations. Here’s a look at some of the major names emerging for roles in Trump’s next administration, including Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, and other key figures.

Mike Waltz as National Security Adviser

Florida Rep. Mike Waltz has been selected as Trump’s national security adviser. Waltz, who was re-elected for a fourth term in November, brings significant experience with the House Armed Services Committee and has previously worked in civilian roles at the Pentagon. A strong advocate of Trump’s isolationist foreign policy, Waltz has called for greater military spending from NATO allies and an end to U.S. involvement in the Ukraine conflict. His appointment reflects Trump’s stance on a more aggressive, America-first approach to national security.

Elise Stefanik as U.N. Ambassador

Rep. Elise Stefanik, a rising star in the GOP, has been nominated by Trump to be the next U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Stefanik, a loyal Trump ally, has already built a strong reputation on Capitol Hill for her staunch conservative positions. Her nomination has been met with praise from Trump, who called her a “strong, tough, and smart America First fighter.” Stefanik’s role at the U.N. would significantly shape U.S. foreign policy on the global stage, reinforcing Trump’s “America First” approach to international relations.

Tom Homan Named “Border Czar”

One of Trump’s most significant picks for his new administration is former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director, Tom Homan. Appointed as Trump’s "border czar," Homan will oversee deportation policy and work to strengthen border security. Homan, who served during Trump’s first term, is known for his tough stance on immigration, including implementing the controversial “zero tolerance” policy that led to the separation of migrant families. As border security remains a cornerstone of Trump’s campaign, Homan’s appointment underscores the administration’s commitment to stricter immigration enforcement.

Stephen Miller as Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy

Longtime Trump adviser Stephen Miller has been named as Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy. Miller, who played a crucial role in shaping Trump’s immigration policies during his first term, will help drive the administration’s policy agenda in the second term. Known for his hardline stance on immigration and border security, Miller has been a key player in Trump’s efforts to overhaul U.S. immigration law. His appointment ensures that immigration remains a top priority in the new administration.

Lee Zeldin as EPA Administrator

Former Rep. Lee Zeldin, who was a prominent figure in Trump’s campaign, has been tapped to lead the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Zeldin’s goals for the agency include restoring U.S. energy dominance, revitalizing the auto industry, and ensuring access to clean air and water. His leadership at the EPA is expected to align with Trump’s pro-business stance, focusing on deregulation and energy independence.

What We Can Expect from Trump’s Next Administration

While these key appointments have been confirmed, there are still important roles yet to be filled. Trump has yet to announce positions for some of his prominent campaign allies, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and billionaire Elon Musk. However, with the House of Representatives still undecided, the direction of Trump’s administration remains in flux. Despite this, these early picks show a clear alignment with Trump’s political philosophy—focusing on America-first policies, tougher immigration enforcement, and a strong national defense.

As Trump’s new Cabinet continues to take shape, the country can expect significant shifts in both domestic and foreign policies, with a focus on tightening immigration laws, restoring U.S. energy dominance, and challenging international norms on issues such as climate change and military alliances.

Stay tuned for more updates on Trump’s administration as more positions are finalized in the coming weeks.
