In a significant development, President-elect Donald Trump has reportedly turned down two familiar faces from his first term, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, as he begins meeting candidates for his new administration. The decision to pass over Haley and Pompeo comes amid Trump’s ongoings discussions with potential appointees, as he prepares to shape the core team for his next four years in office.
While both Haley and Pompeo were influential figures during Trump’s first term, sources suggest the President-elect may be seeking fresh perspectives and new faces to address the current political landscape.
