Donald Trump’s nominations of black & gay Secretaries finalize the demographical diversification of his Cabinet

American President-elect Donald Trump just nominated Scott Bessent, a married Gay man, as Treasury Secretary; and NFL veteran Scott Turner, a Black, as Secretary for the Department of Housing & Urban Development, effectively dismissing the allegations of racism and sexism in his future Cabinet – which is now diversified and inclusive enough. It would be interesting if he picks a Democrat for a Cabinet-level position, however it would unlikely to happen since the pool of Republican candidates is vast enough for his selection.

Eastward to the Supreme Court or up to the short-time Presidency, which way for Harris?

USA - Less than 70 days into the end of Biden-Harris Administration, Democrats raised various options for Kamala Harris’ career path after her defeat in the presidential race with Donald Trump.
