Trump Agriculture selects Brooke Rollins confirmed by the Senate

President Donald Trump secured two more cabinet confirmations on Thursday, including his choice to lead the Department of Agriculture (USDA), Brooke Rollins.

Rollins was easily confirmed by the Senate shortly after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was confirmed as Trump’s health secretary.

Most recently, Rollins has served as president and CEO of the America First Policy Institute Think Tank, which she founded after Trump’s first period. In Trump’s first administration, she was his director of the Office of American Innovation and Acting Director of the Domestic Policy Council.

The newly elected president announced his selection of Rollins for the USDA manager in November and remembered that she did “an incredible job” during her first period.

“Brooke’s obligation to support the American farmer, defense of American self -sufficiency of food and restoration of agricultural -dependent American small cities is unparalleled,” he said.

The committee’s decision to move her nomination was unanimous, giving her top -notch backing that goes into her confirmation reconciliation.

Rollins is now the 16th cabinet employee confirmed to earn in Trump’s new administration. With the help of the Republican Led Senate, Trump has managed to confirm his elections at a pace far ahead either his first administration or former President Joe Biden’s.
