Trump Expected to Nominate Kelly Loeffler as Agriculture Secretary

The former Georgia senator, known for her business background and prior political controversies, is anticipated to join Trump’s cabinet.

  • President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to offer Kelly Loeffler the role of secretary of the Department of Agriculture.
  • Loeffler previously served as a U.S. senator from Georgia after being appointed in 2019 but lost her seat to Democrat Raphael Warnock in the 2021 special election.
  • Before her political career, Loeffler was the CEO of financial services company Bakkt and co-owner of the WNBA team Atlanta Dream.
  • Her tenure as a WNBA team co-owner drew criticism in 2020 due to her opposition to the league's support for racial justice initiatives, which led to player activism against her ownership.
  • Trump is expected to meet with Loeffler at Mar-a-Lago to discuss the potential cabinet position, though the appointment has not been officially confirmed.
