Trump seeks to merge MAGA supporters with traditional GOP in new administration

President-elect Donald Trump is integrating his MAGA supporters into the Republican Party and his administration. He has announced plans to nominate figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard for key positions, diverging from traditional GOP choices. Trump's recent selections, including Sen. Marco Rubio for secretary of state, reflect a blend of populist and established Republican figures. However, some nominees may face challenges in the Senate due to their backgrounds and qualifications. Trump aims to create a Cabinet that mirrors his diverse voter coalition, which helped him win key battleground states. The acceptance of his nominees by Republican senators remains uncertain.
