Trump taking Vivek Ramaswamy, Charlie Kirk's advice on staff selection: 'Not only Elon Musk'

It was Trump Jr who shot down any discussion of Mike Pompeo or Nikki Haley for any official roles as he made it clear that his father would only take loyalists as his staff. "Trump's transition co-chairs are Lutnick and Linda McMahon, but there are Elon Musk, Vice President-elect JD Vance, Donald Trump Jr, Tulsi Gabbard, Kennedy. There’s also a rotating cast of conservative influencers like Charlie Kirk and Vivek Ramaswamy, according to four people with knowledge of the meetings," Politico reported.
