President-elect Trump will meet with Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, conservative commentator Laura Ingraham and South Carolina Rep. Mick Mulvaney early this week, among other potential administration nominees.
Ingraham will meet the president-elect early this week amid rumors that she is a leading contender to become his press secretary. Trump spokesman Jason Miller didn’t say what job Mulvaney might be up for, but Mulvaney has reportedly said he’d be interested in running the Office of Management and Budget.
Several others will be in New York this week to meet with Trump, including Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson, who will meet Monday amid rumors that Trump is considering him as a possible secretary of state nominee.
Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is slated to meet with Trump Tuesday, and North Dakota Rep. Kevin Cramer, a vocal critic of the protests delaying construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, will meet the president-elect sometime this week.
Catherine Templeton, the South Carolina attorney who is poised to run for Gov. Nikki Haley’s soon-to-be-vacated seat, will also meet Trump, as will former U.S. attorney Debra Wong Yang.
