President-elect Donald Trump has filled key posts for his second term in office, prioritizing loyalty after feeling like he was hampered by internal squabbles during his first term. Among his choices are Kash Patel for FBI, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as health secretary, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio as secretary of state, former “Fox & Friends Weekend” co-host Pete Hegseth as defense secretary and TV talk show host Dr. Mehmet Oz to oversee the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz withdrew as Trump’s first choice for attorney general, and Trump subsequently nominated former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi.
