Trump’s White House: attention turns to cabinet and transition, as reality of triumph sinks in
Will Trump’s key campaign aides - including daughter Ivanka, Rudy Giuliani and Chris Christie - find a place among President-elect’s White House?
The true test now begins for Donald Trump.
The Republican president-elect paid little attention to transition planning leading up to his stunning victory. With 72 days before he takes control of the executive branch, Trump and his senior team on Wednesday immediately began the herculean task of picking a Cabinet and tapping hundreds of appointees to senior roles in key departments — State, Defence, Homeland Security, Commerce and Treasury among them — many requiring multiple security reviews or Senate confirmation.
Throughout his campaign, he turned to a tight-knit group that included his children and family members - will they now find a place in a Trump White House, and perhaps the cabinet?
Stier described the transition as “a point of maximum vulnerability” for the nation.
