President-elect Trump will continue meeting with industry experts and potential players in his administration on Wednesday while the head of his transition operation, Vice President-elect Mike Pence, is expected to huddle with GOP leaders on Capitol Hill.
According to transition officials, the incoming Republican president will meet with the following individuals at Trump Tower:
- Linda McMahon — A longtime friend of Trump and the founder of WWE, McMahon contributed nearly $7 million to Trump’s campaign in the general election. She was rumored to be under consideration for commerce secretary, a position awarded to billionaire Wilbur Ross on Tuesday.
- Sonny Perdue — The former Republican governor of Georgia was an early supporter of Trump’s and has been floated as a possible contender for secretary of agriculture.
- Sen. Dan Coats — Indiana’s outgoing Republican senator is expected to discuss Trump’s upcoming visit to Indianapolis on Thursday and the president-elect’s recent deal with Carrier, an Indiana-based air-conditioning company, that will prevent nearly 1,000 manufacturing jobs from moving to Mexico.
- Marine Gen. John F. Kelly — Kelly retired as chief of U.S. Southern Command earlier this year and is rumored to be under consideration to head the State Department in the next administration. He first met with the president-elect at Trump Tower last week and his meeting Wednesday is seen as a follow-up interview for the top diplomatic post.
