President-elect Donald Trump is scheduled to assume office as the 47th president of the United States on January 20, 2025. The president has the authority to nominate members of his cabinet to the United States Senate for confirmation under the Appointments Clause of the United States Constitution.

Cabinet

All permanent members of the Cabinet of the United States as heads of executive departments require the advice and consent of the United States Senate following appointment by the president before taking office. The vice presidency is exceptional in that the position requires an election to office pursuant to the United States Constitution. The president may also designate heads of other agencies and non-Senate-confirmed members of the Executive Office of the President as Cabinet-level members of the Cabinet. The Cabinet meets with the president in the Cabinet Room, a room adjacent to the Oval Office.

As the Republican Party will control the next Senate, it is expected that all of Trump's designates will be confirmed with little contest.^[1] However, some nominees have been met with criticism by a few Senate Republicans.^[2]

On November 12, 2024, president-elect Trump announced that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would work together to lead the Department of Government Efficiency in his second term.^[3] Despite the name, it is unlikely to be a federal executive department, since official departments require Congressional approval, and is more likely to be a component of the Executive Office of the President or a presidential commission working closely with the Office of Management and Budget.^[4]^[5]

The following have been named as Cabinet appointees by the president-elect of the United States.

Senator JD Vance (R-OH) was elected vice president of the United States, receiving 312 projected electoral votes, compared to the governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, who received 226 projected electoral votes in the election.

White House Chief of Staff

The White House chief of staff has traditionally been the highest-ranking staff employee of the White House. The responsibilities of the chief of staff are both managerial and advisory over the president's official business. The chief of staff is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the president; it does not require Senate confirmation. On November 7, 2024, Trump announced Susie Wiles as his choice for his chief of staff, having served as his 2024 campaign co-chair. Wiles will be the first woman to hold the position.^[27]

National Security Advisor

The National Security Advisor is an executive position within the United States government. The National Security Advisor is the president's official advisor on all matters of national security, and serves on various committees. As the position is not in cabinet, it does not require senate confirmation. In November 2024, Trump announced that Michael Waltz will serve as his NSA.^[28]

Acting Cabinet officials

Because cabinet members must be confirmed by the Senate, acting officials are typically appointed for the period before the Senate votes, in accordance with the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998. For cabinet positions, only people who already actively hold a position confirmed by the Senate at the end of the previous administration are eligible.^[29] Normally, a senior employee of the same executive agency who is equivalent to a GS-15 or above on the federal pay scale would also be eligible, but this is believed to be unconstitutional in the case of secretaries of the federal executive departments, although this has not been tested in court.^[30]

Some people speculated for acting Attorney General include Federal Trade Commission commissioner Andrew N. Ferguson, Deputy Solicitor General Curtis E. Gannon, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama Prim F. Escalona, and Department of Homeland Security Inspector General Joseph Cuffari.^[29]
