Donald Trump assumed office as the 47th president of the United States on January 20, 2025. The president has the authority to nominate members of his cabinet to the United States Senate for confirmation under the Appointments Clause of the United States Constitution.

## Cabinet

All permanent members of the Cabinet of the United States as heads of executive departments require the advice and consent of the United States Senate following appointment by the president before taking office. The vice presidency is exceptional in that the position requires an election to office pursuant to the United States Constitution. The president may also designate heads of other agencies and non-Senate-confirmed members of the Executive Office of the President as Cabinet-level members of the Cabinet. The Cabinet meets with the president in the Cabinet Room, a room adjacent to the Oval Office.
As the Republican Party controls the Senate, it is expected that all of Trump's designates will be confirmed with little contest. However, some nominees have been met with criticism by a few Senate Republicans.
Trump's cabinet choices were described by Business Insider and Reuters as valuing personal loyalty over relevant experience, and for having a range of conflicting ideologies and "eclectic personalities". It was also described as the wealthiest administration in modern history, with over 13 billionaires chosen to take government posts. Trump officials and Elon Musk threatened to fund primary challengers in upcoming elections against Republican senators who did not vote for Trump's nominees.
On November 12, 2024, President-elect Trump announced that his administration would establish a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Despite the name, DOGE is not be a federal executive department, since official departments require congressional approval, but a component of the Executive Office of the President. Elon Musk, one of the senior advisors to the president, plays a key role in DOGE's operations.
The following have been named as Cabinet appointees by the president of the United States.

## Elected officials
### President

Donald Trump defeated the incumbent vice president and Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris, in the 2024 presidential election, receiving 312 electoral votes compared to Harris's 226; he won every swing state in addition to holding on to all of the states that he won in 2020. The formal certification of the results took place on January 6, 2025. He assumed office on January 20, 2025.

### Vice President

The vice president is the only cabinet member to be elected to the position. He or she does not require Senate confirmation, and the vice president does not serve at the pleasure of the president. There were dozens of potential running mates for Trump who received media speculation. Trump's eventual pick of Senator JD Vance (R-OH) was officially announced on July 15, 2024, and confirmed by acclamation via parliamentary procedure amongst delegates to the 2024 Republican National Convention on July 15, 2024.
United States senator JD Vance (R-OH) was elected Vice President of the United States on November 5, 2024. He received 312 electoral votes while the governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, received 226. The formal certification of the results took place on January 6, 2025. He assumed office on January 20, 2025. Vance is the third-youngest vice president in U.S. history.

Senator Marco Rubio from Florida was announced as President-elect Trump's nominee for the position on November 13, 2024. He was confirmed 99–0 by the Senate on January 20, 2025, and sworn in the next day.

## Acting Cabinet officials

Because cabinet members must be confirmed by the Senate, acting officials are typically appointed for the period before the Senate votes, in accordance with the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998. For cabinet positions, only people who already actively hold a position confirmed by the Senate at the end of the previous administration are eligible, and they retain that position while they are detailed to the acting position. Normally, a senior employee of the same executive agency who is equivalent to a GS-15 or above on the federal pay scale would also be eligible, but this is believed to be unconstitutional in the case of secretaries of the federal executive departments, although this has not been tested in court.

## Comparisons and contrasts to views of nominees in the nomination hearings

The nominees for the various cabinet positions answered questions in the respective Senate committee for the position that they were nominated for. Some nominees shared views on specific issues, while others differed on these views.

### The role of the search warrant

CIA director John Ratcliffe and FBI director Kash Patel both stated in their respective Senate nomination hearings that obtaining a search warrant for an investigation under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) may be nearly impossible in situations where information is needed immediately, as might be in a hostage rescue situation or similar type of issues needing information moment by moment. In contrast, director of national intelligence nominee Tulsi Gabbard spent a large part of her time in her nomination hearing emphasizing the need for privacy of U.S. citizens when Section 702 is applied. Essentially, § 702(b) of the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 prohibits intention data gathering of a U.S. citizen in the process of an investigation of an issue overseas.
