Trump begins selecting leaders for his administration

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

79% : "Elise is an incredibly strong, tough and smart America First fighter," Trump said in a statement Monday announcing his pick for the role -- his first selection that will require Senate confirmation.
76% : Trump chose Rep. Elise Stefanik to serve as his ambassador to the United Nations, picking a loyal ally with little foreign policy experience to represent the U.S. at the international organization.
38% : Trump also named former New York Congressman Lee Zeldin to lead the Environmental Protection Agency on Monday.
38% : In addition to overseeing the southern and northern borders and "maritime, and aviation security," Trump said Homan "will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin," a central part of his agenda.
35% : Meanwhile, Trump said late Sunday on social media that Tom Homan, his former acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement director, will serve as "border czar" in his incoming administration, a position that is likely to play a key role in Trump's campaign pledges to secure the U.S.-Mexico border and mount a massive deportation operation.
32% : With a number of top jobs at the State Department, National Security Council and Defense Department up for grabs, Trump is expected to lean toward those who back his desire to end U.S. involvement in any wars, use the military to control the U.S.-Mexico border and take a hard line on Iran.
31% : The key test, however, will be loyalty and a willingness to do whatever Trump wants, as he seeks to avoid the pushback he got from the Pentagon the first time around.
27% : His public appearances both in his own campaigns and on behalf of Trump often had him speaking about issues such as the military, national security, antisemitism, U.S.-Israel relations, immigration and crime.
26% : John Bolton, a former U.S. national security adviser under Trump and ambassador to the U.N. during the Bush administration, told The Associated Press that he sees Stefanik as the 2024 version of Haley.
25% : She resigned after two years and then challenged Trump for the GOP nomination.
