Trump’s Second-Term Cabinet Is More Diverse Than His First
President-elect Trump is on track for a main cabinet that has more than double the number of women he had eight years ago.
Donald Trump’s slate of cabinet nominees, selected at a breakneck pace compared to other recent presidents, is packed with loyalists who are ready to carry out his “America First” agenda and dismantle what the president-elect has called “woke” policies. It’s also more diverse — at least along gender lines — than the last time he was in office.
After tapping Pam Bondi to replace scandal-tainted Matt Gaetz as his attorney general pick, Trump is on track to more than double the number of women in the main cabinet — the vice president and the heads of 15 executive departments — than he had at the start of his first administration. Trump has selected three people of color for posts in the main cabinet, a figure that is flat compared to eight years ago.1
