Donald Trump's advisers are actively forming a new administration for his second term, with a Republican-controlled Senate and a potential majority in the House enhancing his 'America First' agenda. Marco Rubio is a prominent candidate for Secretary of State, competing with others like Ric Grenell and Robert O'Brien, while Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., aims to ensure cabinet members are loyal to his father. Trump is considering a mix of political outsiders and loyalists for his cabinet, wary of appointing current lawmakers due to past experiences with scandal and disloyalty. Meanwhile, Democrats have gained ground in New York, flipping two Republican-held districts in recent elections, highlighting a shift in political dynamics. The appointment of Susie Wiles as Trump's White House chief of staff underscores the competitive nature of securing roles within the new administration, with potential candidates forming alliances.
