You might not like it, but Trump’s Cabinet represents the GOP

Published



The winning Republican coalition that propelled President-elect Donald Trump to a landslide Electoral College win, a victory in the national popular vote, and a clean sweep of the battleground states and gave the GOP a three-seat majority in the Senate was the definition of a big tent movement. Traditional center-right Republicans, conservatives, populists, libertarians, and disaffected Democrats had all seen quite enough of the Biden-Harris doctrine and the inflation, war, and unrest that followed it. 

The incoming president’s Cabinet nominees reflect his electoral coalition perfectly. Of course, there is plenty to criticize, regardless of where you happen to stand, but Trump gave just about every corner of his coalition something to celebrate.
