Trump Excludes Haley and Pompeo from 2025 Administration: 2 Major Exclusions Revealed

Trump forms administration with key appointments

Trump Excludes Haley and Pompeo from 2025 Administration: President-elect Donald Trump is actively forming his administration, with several key roles nearly filled. He is likely to appoint Florida Senator Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, according to two sources. Trump has already chosen Representative Elise Stefanik as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and reportedly asked Florida Representative Mike Waltz to be his National Security Adviser.

Former New York Representative Lee Zeldin is set to lead the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Tom Homan, who was acting ICE director under Trump’s previous administration, will oversee national border security, as announced on Sunday.

Last week, Trump selected his campaign manager, Susie Wiles, as White House Chief of Staff, marking his first major appointment.

Additionally, Stephen Miller, Trump’s top immigration advisor, is expected to become Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy. Former SEC Chairman Jay Clayton is a potential candidate for Attorney General after Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt withdrew his consideration. Tennessee Senator Bill Hagerty, known for advocating a halt to U.S. aid to Ukraine, is in the running for several posts.

Elon Musk, though not officially joining the administration, is reported to have significant influence. Trump has confirmed that neither Nikki Haley nor former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will be part of his new team.

Trump wins key swing states

Trump Excludes Haley and Pompeo from 2025 Administration:  Donald Trump is preparing to return to the White House after a decisive victory over Kamala Harris in the November 5 presidential election. The 78-year-old president-elect swept all seven swing states, including Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin—states that had voted Democratic in the previous election. He also secured North Carolina and Nevada.

Trump favors Rubio for Secretary of State

Trump Excludes Haley and Pompeo from 2025 Administration:  President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly favoring Senator Marco Rubio for the role of Secretary of State in his new administration, passing over Vivek Ramaswamy. Rubio, who has been a key supporter of Trump’s 2024 campaign, would make history as the first Latino to serve as the United States’ top diplomat, according to recent reports.

Rubio, a U.S. Senator since 2011 and Vice Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, was also previously considered for the vice presidential spot, though Trump ultimately selected Ohio Senator J.D. Vance. Rubio, known for his firm stance on foreign policy, has aligned more closely with Trump’s views in recent years, including on matters like U.S. aid to Ukraine. Though he initially supported robust support for Ukraine, Rubio later opposed a $61 billion funding bill, emphasizing a focus on immigration issues at home. In a September interview with NBC, he noted that he believes the conflict in Ukraine will ultimately require a negotiated settlement, adding that the U.S. should help Ukraine reach a favorable position in these talks.

Meanwhile, Ramaswamy, an entrepreneur and former Trump challenger who later endorsed him, has hinted at a possible cabinet role in the administration. In a recent interview on ABC’s *This Week*, he suggested there are “a couple great options on the table” for him. Speculation includes a potential position as Secretary of Homeland Security or possibly a political future in Ohio, where he could pursue the Senate seat left open by Vance’s vice presidency.

If Ramaswamy is not selected, he would join Nikki Haley as another prominent Indian-American Republican who will not be part of Trump’s upcoming administration, a decision reportedly influenced by Haley’s past criticism of Trump.

Trump excludes Haley, Pompeo from administration

Trump Excludes Haley and Pompeo from 2025 Administration:  On Saturday, Donald Trump announced that two prominent MAGA figures, Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo, will not be part of his upcoming administration when he returns to the White House in 2025. Posting on Truth Social, Trump shared his decision not to invite the former U.N. Ambassador, who once ran against him for the GOP nomination, or Pompeo, whom some MAGA supporters felt was not always fully supportive.

Trump stated, “I will not be inviting former Ambassador Nikki Haley, or former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, to join the Trump Administration, which is currently in formation.” He acknowledged that he appreciated working with both of them previously and thanked them for their service, closing with “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Trump secured his non-consecutive term after defeating Democratic opponent Kamala Harris on November 5, becoming the second U.S. president to achieve this, following Grover Cleveland’s elections in 1884 and 1892. This victory came despite ongoing legal challenges and criminal trials.
