Speculation Circulates around President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Breitbart:

Since Donald Trump named Stephen K. Bannon as his White House Senior Counselor and Reince Priebus as his Chief of Staff, many media reports have emerged, speculating on several other names inside Trump’s inner circle rumored to fill positions in the Trump administration.

 

Breitbart News confirmed with former communications director for Gov. Mike Huckabee’s 2016 GOP primary campaign Hogan Gidley that Huckabee is being considered for a possible post.

 

According to Gidley, some of the positions floated for Huckabee have been secretary of commerce, secretary of state, secretary of health and human services (HHS) and secretary of transportation.

Rudy Giuliani is a favorite for secretary of state, according to the Associated Press.

 

Recently, USA Today noted Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) might be secretary of homeland security, but Sessions’ name was also floated for secretary of defense, per Politico.

 

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and former Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton are both reportedly being considered for secretary of state.

 

Conservative talk radio host Laura Ingraham is rumored as a possible White House press secretary, according to CNN.

 

Ingraham commented on the speculation about a potential White House job during an appearance on Fox News with Tucker Carlson. “I am honored to be considered for the job and other jobs, so we’ll see what happens,” she responded.

Unlike Rudy Guiliani or John Bolton, Webb is aligned with the best of Donald Trump's foreign policy views.

Earlier today Jim Webb spoke at George Washington University. Webb ran for the Democratic presidential nomination last year, and has previously served as a U.S. senator from Virginia, was secretary of the Navy under Reagan, and is known for his military service and contributions as a novelist and historian of the Scots-Irish. A Naval Academy graduate, Webb was awarded the Navy Cross, the Silver Star, and two Bronze Stars for his conduct in combat during the Vietnam War. He received two Purple Hearts for injuries he sustained while in combat.

 

According to Yahoo News reporter Jon Ward, the man who introduced him said Trump should pick Webb as his secretary of defense or secretary of state.

 

The inside-the-beltway brigades have been bandying about former New York City mayor Rudy Guiliani and former UN ambassador John Bolton for secretary of state. For his part, Webb never answered questions at GWU even about whether he’d consider serving in a Trump administration.
