Hannah-Claire Brimelow: Big Surprises as Trump Assembles His Team

The Daily Signal Podcast

On this Sunday edition of The Daily Signal Podcast, we bring you a conversation with Hannah-Claire Brimelow on the Problematic Women podcast. It's a crossover episode!

“Well, I didn't see that coming” has been a somewhat common refrain on Capitol Hill this week as President-elect Donald Trump announces his picks to lead his forthcoming administration.

Trump has built his brand on breaking the mold of politics and continues the trend with his Cabinet appointments.

Not every choice has been a surprise. Susie Wiles has long been on Trump’s short list to be his chief of staff, given her years of loyalty to the president and her success in managing Trump’s reelection campaign. Wiles will make history as the first female chief of a president's staff.

And Tom Homan’s experience in Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, coupled with his positive relationship with Trump, made him an obvious choice for “border czar.”

But some of Trump’s picks were unexpected, though not necessarily in a bad way.

On this week's edition of "Problematic Women," Hannah-Claire Brimelow joins the show to discuss Trump's Cabinet picks and why some are so surprising. We also fact-check some recent abortion claims.
