Trump Nominates Doug Collins as Veterans Affairs Secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Doug Collins, a former GOP House member and staunch Trump supporter, to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs. Collins, who served as an Air Force Reserve chaplain and in Congress, has pledged to reduce regulations and combat corruption within the VA. If confirmed, he will face challenges such as financial issues from expanded veteran benefits and an over-budget electronic health records overhaul. Collins' nomination reflects Trump's tendency to reward loyalists, as Collins previously defended Trump during his first impeachment.
