SEATTLE - As president-elect Donald Trump continues to pick those officials that will serve as the 15 heads of executive departments for his Presidential Cabinet, a representative from Florida is defending Trump's picks amid the wave of criticism those selected have received from the other side of the political spectrum.
On Nov. 19, the president-elect announced that physician and TV star Dr. Mehmet Oz would serve as the administrator of the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, while Howard Lutnick was announced as commerce secretary. Later that same day, he revealed that WWE co-founder Linda McMahon was going to serve as his education secretary.
