President Donald Trump obtained two more cabinet confirmations on Thursday, including his choice to lead Ministry of Agriculture (USDA), Brooke Rollins.
Rollins was easily confirmed by the Senate shortly after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was confirmed as Trump’s health secretary.
Rollins recently has president and CEO of the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) Think Tank, which she was co-founder after Trump’s first term.
In Trump’s first administration, she was his director of the Office of American Innovation and acting director of the Interior Policy Council.
