President-elect Donald Trump has made several key picks for his Cabinet, with notable selections including Sen. Marco Rubio for secretary of state, Fox News host and Army veteran Pete Hegseth for defense secretary, and former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz for attorney general. However, there are still several positions that remain unfilled.
Howard Lutnick, the head of Cantor Fitzgerald and Trump transition co-chair, is reportedly vying for the role of treasury secretary, according to sources familiar with the matter. Meanwhile, billionaire hedge fund manager Scott Bessent is also a top contender for the position. Other potential candidates include former Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Jay Clayton and Tennessee Sen. Bill Hagerty, who are considered as 'dark horses' for the role. Clayton is also being considered for secretary of labor.
