Trump's Transition: Key Players and Cabinet Contenders

Senator Mike Crapo, a cautious and detail-oriented Republican from Idaho, is set to lead the Senate Finance Committee, partnering with Donald Trump on tax policy. Crapo's approach contrasts with Trump's, as he focuses on consensus within the GOP and is skeptical of Trump's tariff proposals. The upcoming expiration of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will be a major focus, with Crapo advocating for extending tax cuts without offsetting savings, potentially clashing with House Republicans concerned about the deficit.
