Trump Considers Kelly Loeffler for Agriculture Secretary

President-elect Donald Trump is expected to offer former U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler the position of Secretary of Agriculture in his upcoming administration, with a meeting scheduled at Mar-a-Lago. Loeffler, who served in the Senate from 2019 to 2021, is a strong Trump supporter and has played a significant role in fundraising for his 2024 campaign. Her tenure as a senator was marked by controversy, particularly her opposition to the WNBA's support for the 'Black Lives Matter' movement, which led to backlash and the eventual sale of her stake in the Atlanta Dream. Trump's anticipated pick for agriculture secretary comes amid broader discussions about reforming the agriculture industry, particularly in light of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s focus on changing dietary guidelines at the Department of Health and Human Services. An official announcement regarding the appointment has yet to be made.
