There are many candidates for important positions like, Secretary of State, Defense Secretary, Homeland Security Secretary, and Director of National Intelligence.
Speculation has arisen over potential nominees for Secretary of State, Mitt Romney being one of them. Romney was the 2012 GOP presidential nominee and has criticized Trump in the past. And the pick for Chief Strategist, Stephen Bannon, who was the editor-in-chief of Breitbart News has been accused of hate speech by many.

Nikki Haley, a former critic of Trump, is the governor of South Carolina. Ben Carson is a former neurosurgeon and Republican presidential candidate.
