President-elect Trump appears to be a politician in a hurry when it comes to staffing his upcoming second administration’s top jobs. Trump has announced roughly 20 Cabinet and other top-level positions in the nearly two weeks since decisively winning the 2024 presidential election over Vice President Kamala Harris.
