After winning the elections, Trump will likely commence the process of choosing his cabinet and selecting other high-ranking administration officials in the coming weeks.

Some of the top contenders for high-ranking posts are staunch Trump allies Jamie Dimon, Scott Bessent and John Paulson. However, Trump will likely hand over a major national security post to Kashyap ‘Kash’ Patel.

A former Republican House staffer who served in various high-ranking staff roles in the defense and intelligence communities during Trump's first term, Patel has frequently appeared on the campaign trail to rally support for the candidate.
