Republican allies of former President Trump expect him to draw heavily from the Senate GOP conference to fill his Cabinet if he is elected to a second term in November, with Sens. Bill Hagerty (Tenn.), Tom Cotton (Ark.), Marco Rubio (Fla.) and Tommy Tuberville (Ala.) in contention for top-level jobs.

Republicans feel confident about Trump’s chances against Vice President Harris in November and are buzzing about who could lead the departments of Treasury, Defense, State and Education if Trump wins.

GOP lawmakers expect Trump, if elected, to push big reforms to overhaul the federal bureaucracy, and they believe that senators are well positioned to manage Washington’s sprawling departments and agencies to make changes and produce results.

Some of those would be a loss to the Senate GOP in my opinion. There aren't many good conservative ones...

Trump needs to hang on to whatever pubs he has in the Senate.

Better not. We can’t afford to put any GOP Senate seats up for grabs. That would be a bad bad move.

And could be a bad risk particularly if the Senate margin is thin.

God help us if Rubio is anywhere near Homeland Security or State, or Cotton, Defense or State. Tuberville, Education? Get outta here! And Haggerty, Treasury? Yuck! All you can say is he wouldn’t be Dimon or Fink, but rather their butt boy.

Trump must be being given a very, very narrow list of possible appointments.

I hope he quietly forms his cabinet months ahead of the election so they in turn can develop their program beforehand.
