Trump takes charge of transition, nominates RFK Jr. for health secretary

Since Election Day, President-elect Donald Trump has taken full control of his transition team, making key decisions about his second administration. His spokesperson has consistently stated that Trump will announce appointments when ready, emphasizing his leadership role. A notable development is Trump's nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services, despite earlier claims from transition officials that he would not be considered for the position. This choice has surprised many, including pharmaceutical stocks and some lawmakers. Other appointments include Florida Senator Marco Rubio for Secretary of State and former Representative Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence. Trump's hands-on approach marks a shift from his previous transition, with decisions now primarily made by him and his close advisors.
