by Rod Williams, July 19, 2024- While anything could happen between now and the election, I think it is safe to say the odds greatly favor a Donald Trump second term. Speculation is circulating as to who will make up Trump's cabinet in the second Trump term in office. Among those rumored to be considered for a cabinet slots are Senator Marsha Blackburn, Senator Bill Hagerty, and Congressman Mark Green.
In picking people from among member of Congress for positions in the new Trump administration, Trump will want to pick those from states with Republican governors so the created vacancy will be filled by a Republican. Should any of the three potential cabinet picks mentioned about be selected for a cabinet or other position in the administration, Governor Bill Lee would select the person to fill the remainer of that person's term.
Punchbowl News says Marsha Blackburn is being considered for Commerce secretary, Bill Hagerty for Treasury secretary, and Mark Green for Homeland Security. According to Newsweek, Ramaswamy could be in line for secretary of commerce, so Marsha Blackburn may have competition from another serious contender for that seat. Washington Examiner mentions Senator Hagerty as a potential pick for a top national security role.
All of this is speculation at this point, but it seems Mark Green has some serious competition for Secretary of Homeland Security seat. Punchbowl says former Trump ICE official Tom Homan is largely seen as the frontrunner for that seat right now. USA Today says Vivek Ramaswamy wants the position. Axios says that Peter Navorro, a Trump loyalist and an influential senior advisor to Trump, sees Ken Cuccinelli returning as head of Homeland Security. All of these people are being mentioned for, or jockeying for, or being considered for a position that Project 2025 says is on the chopping block for elimination.
