WASHINGTON - According to media reports, Trump has offered Republican New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik the post of ambassador to the United Nations. Trump has announced the appointment of billionaire Elon Musk to head a new advisory body tasked with preparing "drastic" cuts in regulations and government spending.
The congresswoman, chairwoman of the House of Representatives Republican Party Conference and the fourth highest-ranking Republican in the House, became the first Capitol Hill leader to endorse Trump's third campaign for the White House when she backed him in November 2022.
In addition, Tom Homan, who served as acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the last administration, is expected to return soon. The former acting head of ICE was a contributor to Project 2025, an ultraconservative playbook for the next Republican president that Trump distanced himself from during his campaign, CNN recalled.
In a recent interview on CBS's 60 Minutes, Homan, when asked about Trump's promise to carry out mass deportations immediately after taking office, claimed that "families could be deported together". "There will not be mass raids in neighbourhoods. It won't be building concentration camps. I read the whole thing. It's ridiculous." said a potential contender for the post who spoke at the Republican National Convention in July. "I have a message for the millions of illegal immigrants Joe Biden has let into our country in violation of federal law: you better start packing your bags." Homan warned from the podium in Milwaukee.
Last Thursday, Trump announced that Susie Wiles, his campaign co-chair, will be his chief of staff starting January 20, 2025.
A number of questions were raised Announcements that Elon Musk will lead the "Department of Government Efficiency" in partnership with Vivek Ramaswamy, an unsuccessful contender for the Republican presidential nomination and another Trump ally. Musk and Ramaswamy "will pave the way for my administration to dismantle the government bureaucracy, cut redundant regulations, reduce wasteful spending, and restructure federal agencies," Trump said in a statement.
This weekend, with the final vote count from Arizona, it was confirmed that the former president (2017-2021) swept all seven key states during the November 5 election. He received 93 electoral votes, which together yielded.
These seven states (Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada and Arizona) were visited repeatedly by Trump and his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, during the campaign because of their importance. Trump thus emerged from the 2024 election with 312 votes in the Electoral College, far surpassing the 270 votes needed to win. Harris received 226 votes.
The result improves on her performance in 2016, when she first made it to the White House after defeating Democrat Hillary Clinton (304-227). In 2020, she lost by 232 votes to incumbent Joe Biden's 306.
