President-elect Trump begins to fill cabinet

President-Elect Donald Trump Has begun announcing his picks for his new cabinet.

While nominees still need Senate approval, the picks give a look inside how Trump plans to govern with what is increasingly looking like all three branches of government under Republican control.

Trump announced former New York congressman Lee Zeldin, a veteran, will serve as the Environmental Protection Agency administrator.

“I have known Lee Zeldin for a long time, and have watched him handle, brilliantly, some extremely difficult and complex situations,” Trump said in a statement. “I am very proud to have him in the Trump Administration, where he will quickly prove to be a great contributor!“

Trump also is expected to tap U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., as Secretary of State, according to media reports.

He also released a statement naming former Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Tom Homan as his “border czar,” The Center Square reported.

Trump still has a slew of other picks to make with some specific ones expected, such as billionaire Elon Musk, who may receive a spot to help improve efficiency in the government, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who could have a health role, possibly at the Food and Drug Administration.
