President-elect Trump is expected to name former Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) to serve as secretary of Agriculture, a source close to the transition told The Hill.
Loeffler is currently the co-chair of Trump’s second inaugural committee, ahead of the January 2025 swearing in, along with real estate mogul Steve Witkoff.
Loeffler briefly represented Georgia in the Senate after being appointed in 2019 following the resignation of former Sen. Johnny Isakson. She lost an election bid to the seat in the 2020 special election to Democratic Georgia Sen. Rafael Warnock.
Before serving in the Senate, Loeffler was chief executive officer at financial services company Bakkt. She was the co-owner of the Atlanta Dream Women’s NBA team.
