President-elect Donald Trump's transition team is huddled in West Palm Beach, Florida, already ironing out plans for the incoming administration. Throughout the campaign and after victory became apparent, Trump and his allies have made clear that his top priorities on day one include executive orders on deporting immigrants and revoking President Joe Biden's emissions standards — and the names being floated and vetted for key cabinet positions have signaled that they will follow Trump's instructions enthusiastically.
Chief among the contenders are Trump loyalists who had been considered for the vice president pick. Sources familiar with the process told The Washington Post that Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., is being considered for secretary of state. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the one-time independent presidential candidate who endorsed Trump and regularly espouses anti-vaccine conspiracy theories and backs a national ban on abortion, was promised a significant role in shaping health care policy.
