These are the top names in contention for defense secretary under Trump
Trump rules out two GOP stalwarts from joining his administration: ‘Will not be inviting’
It appears President Trump has decided not to include two prominent members of the Republican Party in his administration. Unfortunately without further details such as the names, I can’t provide more accurate information about his specific decision. However, it’s not uncommon for Presidents (or Presidents-elect) to be selective about who they want as part of their key team, given these appointments carry significant political and administrative implications. It’s part of the process of building an administration that aligns with their political vision and agenda.
