Trump’s pick for Surgeon General is Fox News personality and medical doctor Janette Nesheiwat.

Trump has asked Scott Bessent, a hedge fund executive and top fundraiser to his campaign, to serve as secretary of the Treasury Department.
If confirmed, Bessent will be tasked with implementing any tax cuts a Republican-controlled Congress may pursue.
