Here’s Who Trump May Tap to Drive His Economic Agenda

Dozens of names are floating around Mar-a-Lago as he forms his team.

Donald Trump’s team is forming a new administration and the president-elect is expected to draw top advisers and cabinet secretaries from a pool of Wall Street and business executives including officials from his first term — at least the ones who stuck by him.

Republicans are on track to win total control of government, gaining not just the White House but also the Senate. And as of Thursday, they are leading to control the US House. That means Trump’s nominees for 4,000 government posts, including more than two dozen cabinet officials, could sail through the confirmation process in the Senate.
