Trump begins transition to new administration ahead of potential return to White House

Donald Trump is preparing for a new administration as he transitions back to the White House. He has 75 days to fill about 4,000 government positions, including 1,200 that require Senate confirmation, which may be easier with a Republican-controlled Senate. Trump's transition team is led by friends and family, including Robert Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard. Unlike his first term, Trump aims to prioritize loyalty in his appointments and has already suggested roles for Kennedy and Elon Musk. New rules from the Presidential Transition Improvement Act of 2022 allow transitions to start five days after the election, regardless of disputes. This change aims to prevent delays like those experienced in 2020, ensuring a smoother transition process.
