With President-elect Donald Trump preparing to move into the White House in January, here’s a look at the steadfast Trump supporters who will likely be rewarded with cabinet appointments:
RUDY GIULIANI – Former mayor of New York City
Throughout Trump’s campaign, Giuliani has proven himself to be a stalwart Trump supporter in multiple media appearances. Due to his background as a prosecutor, he may be poised to become the U.S.’s next Attorney General.
NEWT GINGRICH – Former House Speaker
Gingrich, who once served as speaker of the house, emerged as a firm Trump supporter during the presidential campaign. Rumoured to have been in the running for Vice Presidential, the veteran politician may now be appointed Secretary of State.
BEN CARSON – Former Republican Presidential candidate
Once Trump’s bitter foe in the race for the Republican presidential ticket, Carson became a steadfast Trump supporter after dropping out of the race. The neurosurgeon may become the next Secretary of Health.
CHRIS CHRISTIE – Governor of New Jersey
Scandal-plagued Christie has been stumping for Trump since the early days of the presidential campaign. Rumoured to have been in the running for Vice President, he may become Trump’s Chief of Staff.
MICHAEL FLYNN – Retired United States Army lieutenant general
The retired U.S. Army general has advised Trump on foreign policy issues throughout the campaign. His military experience may make him Trump’s choice for Secretary of Defence.
Others who are likely to receive cabinet appointments from the Trump administration include chairman of the Republican National Committee Reince Priebus, Republican National Committee finance chair Lew Eisenberg, outspoken former Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin, Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama and Steven Mnuchin, a businessman who served as the Trump campaign’s finance chairman.
