Trump assembles MAGA Dream Team for 2024 transition

Donald Trump is reshaping his transition team for his upcoming presidency, focusing on loyal allies rather than Washington insiders. This approach contrasts sharply with his 2016 transition, which faced criticism for its reliance on established figures. Trump's new team, dubbed the "MAGA Dream Team," is already filling key Cabinet positions with supporters who align with his agenda. Notable picks include Pete Hegseth for defense and Kari Lake for Voice of America, reflecting a commitment to his "America First" policies. Trump Jr. emphasized the team's familiarity and experience, stating they are well-prepared to implement significant changes. The transition team aims to create a government that prioritizes Trump's vision and maintains a strong stance against opposing influences.
