Among those in attendance were Robert F. Kennedy, who has been selected to head the Department of Health and Human Services, and Kristi Noem, the nominee for Homeland Security Secretary. Also present were Marco Rubio, who is set to become the Secretary of State, and Doug Burgum, the pick for Interior Secretary.
Notable figures such as Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel were also in attendance, having been chosen by Trump for the roles of director of national intelligence and FBI director, respectively. Vivek Ramaswamy, a former presidential candidate, and Elon Musk, the tech billionaire, were present as well, serving as co-chairs of the newly-established Department of Government Efficiency.
A significant moment was marked by the presence of Susie Wiles, who is poised to make history as the first woman to hold the position of a president’s chief of staff. Her attendance underscored the administration’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity in its leadership team.
