Trump weighs third candidate for Treasury Secretary as advisor dispute unfolds

rawstory.com

Donald Trump is considering a third candidate for U.S. Treasury Secretary amid a public dispute between his advisors. Initially, billionaire Howard Lutnick and investor Scott Bessent were the main contenders, but Lutnick's support has waned. Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have publicly backed Lutnick, which has reportedly frustrated Trump and his aides. This situation has led to speculation that Trump may choose a different candidate altogether. Trump's spokesperson stated that decisions regarding his second administration will be announced when finalized. Apollo Global Management CEO Marc Rowan is among those being discussed as a potential nominee.
