Oz, a surgeon with no government experience, will oversee a $1.7 trillion budget for federal health programs. Trump also nominated Linda McMahon for Education Secretary.

Vice President-elect JD Vance is coordinating meetings for controversial nominees, including Matt Gaetz for Attorney General and Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary. Both have faced serious allegations but deny any wrongdoing.
