Donald Trump has picked more white men called Doug than African Americans
News Talk
More white men called Doug have been nominated for Cabinet positions in President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration than African Americans.
North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and former Georgia Congressman Doug Collins will both head to the Senate in 2025 for the appointments process, where Congress will decide whether or not they are fit for the roles Trump selected them for. Conversely, no African Americans have been nominated for any Cabinet positions yet.
Burgum has been tapped as secretary of the interior, while Collins was nominated to be secretary of veterans affairs. The two Dougs join the likes of Florida Senator Marco Rubio, former Representative Matt Gaetz, and Fox News host Pete Hegseth on the list of appointments that need to be approved by the Senate in January.
Trump’s Cabinet is on track to be the least diverse this century.
