Who from Texas Might Join Trump's Team?

Texas, USAThu Nov 07 2024
President Donald Trump is putting together his leadership team for the next White House term. Texas, known for its strong conservative politics, could be a key source for Trump's picks. One name that often comes up is Sid Miller, the Texas Agriculture Commissioner. Miller is close to Trump and has been considered for a Cabinet role before. But who else might make the cut? Tech billionaire Elon Musk, recently moved to Texas, could be a strong candidate. So could U. S. Rep. Ronny Jackson, who served as Trump's physician. Texas Governor Greg Abbott, known for his strong stance on immigration, is also a possibility. Then there's U. S. Rep. Beth Van Duyne, who has Trump's endorsement. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, a longtime Trump ally, might also get a high-level post. Attorney General Ken Paxton, despite legal issues, is another potential pick. Finally, Brooke Rollins and John Ratcliffe, both with ties to Trump, are also in the mix.
