Trump's Fascination with House Members
President-elect Trump is heavily favoring current and former House members for his administration, selecting seven for Cabinet-level positions and more for sub-Cabinet roles. This preference reflects his alignment with the pro-Trump GOP base, as House members are more frequently in touch with constituents due to their two-year election cycle. However, this strategy risks weakening the GOP's narrow House majority, as several members have vacated their seats for administration roles, potentially complicating Trump's legislative agenda.
