Republican President-elect Donald Trump has announced his Cabinet picks, featuring some historic firsts. Susie Wiles is set to be the first woman White House chief of staff, while Marco Rubio could be the first Hispanic Secretary of State. Trump has chosen eight women for his Cabinet, which is fewer than the 11 women in President Joe Biden's first Cabinet. He has also selected four people of color, matching his previous term but falling short of Biden's 13. Trump's Cabinet includes younger nominees, such as Elise Stefanik, 40, for United Nations ambassador, and Karoline Leavitt, 27, for White House press secretary. Many selections have recent media experience, including Dr. Mehmet Oz for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
