Trump Nominates Brooke Rollins for Agriculture Secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Brooke Rollins, a longtime ally and former domestic policy advisor, as the Secretary of Agriculture, completing his cabinet selections. Rollins, currently the head of the America First Policy Institute, has a background in agricultural development from Texas A&M University and previously served in the Trump administration as the acting director of the Domestic Policy Council. If confirmed by the Senate, she will oversee key areas such as farm subsidies and food safety, as well as renegotiating trade agreements with Canada and Mexico. This nomination comes amidst a series of selections that include other controversial figures, such as Pam Bondi for attorney general. Rollins' selection is a continuation of Trump's strategy to appoint loyalists to critical positions within his administration. The Senate, which will be Republican-controlled, will need to approve her nomination.
