Who Will Be In Trump’s Cabinet? Rudy Giuliani, Ben Carson, Sheriff David Clarke And Other Contenders

President-elect Donald Trump will meet Vice President-elect Mike Pence at the Trump Tower in Manhattan on Tuesday to assess candidates for his cabinet-in-waiting. Trump has so far named GOP Chairman Reince Priebus as his chief of staff and Breitbart News executive chairman Stephen Bannon as chief strategist.

Transition communications adviser Jason Miller said Monday night Trump and Pence will review “a number of names” for cabinet and senior White House positions.

“There has been a lot of work put in by both the Vice President-elect and a number of members of the transition team,” he reportedly said. “I don’t want to put a finite timetable. Obviously, inauguration day is not getting further away. And people need to get going. This is an absolute top priority understood by the President-elect and the Vice President-elect.”

The real estate mogul, during his campaign, repeatedly said he will surround himself with the best and smartest advisers. Trump is likely pick his cabinet from his circle of loyalists and the team is likely to be dominated by white males, Vox reported. Here’s a list of potential candidates for Trump’s cabinet.

1. Secretary of state:

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is reportedly the leading contender for the post. A senior Trump official told the Associated Press that the job is Giuliani’s if he wants it. Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton is also being considered for this position, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Others considered for the post include Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala. and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

2. Treasury secretary:

Trump is reportedly considering his campaign’s finance chairman Steven Mnuchin for the post. Mnuchin, a Goldman Sachs alumnus, is currently chairman and chief executive of the private investment firm Dune Capital Management.

According to the New York Times, other names mentioned for the position include Colony Capital’s founder Thomas Barrack Jr., Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee Rep. Jeb Hensarling and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty.

3. Attorney general:

Guiliani is under consideration for this position as well, reports said. He once said no one “knows the Justice Department better than me.” Another Trump loyalist, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is also competing for the post. So is Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions.

4. Secretary of defense:

Sessions is under consideration for this position too, though he will have to beat former Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl, former National Security Adviser Stephen J. Hadley and New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte to get the job.

Former Defense Intelligence Agency Director Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn is also being considered for the post. He would, however, require a waiver from Congress if he were to take up the post.

Hamm, CEO of the oil and gas company Continental Resources. Forrest Lucas, president of Lucas Oil Products, is also being considered for the post.

8. Health and human services secretary:

Carson is one of the top contenders for this post. Trump praised the retired neurosurgeon earlier at an anti-Obamacare rally, calling him a “brilliant” doctor. “I hope that he will be very much involved in my administration in the coming years,” he said.

Huckabee and Scott are also being considered for the job. So is former Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. Jindal was also secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals.

9. Director of national intelligence/CIA director:

According to CNN, the real estate mogul is considering three men for the job — former Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Pete Hoekstra, former FBI agent and ex-Chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Mike Rogers, as well as Giuliani.

10. Secretary of homeland security:

Sheriff of Wisconsin’s Milwaukee County David Clarke is a frontrunner for the post. Other names mentioned for the job include Christie, Giuliani and Sessions.
