Outside of those top public health roles, a flurry of new nominees are rounding out Trump's administration.

Today, President-elect Trump named Brooke Rawlins as his pick for Agriculture Secretary.

Rawlins is the president and CEO of the America First Policy Institute, a Trump-aligned think tank.

In the first Trump administration, she served on his domestic policy council.

The president elects choice for the Office of Management and Budget is a familiar name.

Russell Vote led the Budget office during the first Trump term. Vote was one of the lead

gut parts of the government.

Vote has said the U.S. is living in a, quote, post-constitutional time, and he crafted plans for Trump

to deploy the military during civil unrest. Sebastian Gorka has been named White House Senior Director

for Counterterrorism. Gorka became a Fox News contributor after an abrupt end

to his brief stint in the White House during Trump's first administration. In response to the

announcement, Trump's former national security advisor, John Bolton, told CNN he's a dangerous choice.

Well, Sebastian Gorka is a con man. I wouldn't have him in any U.S. government.

Fortunately, it's not the highest position he had been mentioned for, but I don't think it's going to

bode well for counterterrorism efforts. President-elect Trump also announced his picks for

the Departments of Labor and Housing

and Urban Development.

Labor Secretary nominee Lori Chavez-Durimer, who recently lost her re-election bid to the House,

is backed by labor unions, including the head of the Teamsters.

And former Texas State Representative, professional football player, and Trump White House alum, Scott Turner, has been tapped for HUD Secretary.

In the Middle East, deadly airstrikes killed six people, mostly women and children, in the southern area of Kahn Yunus.
