Mary Trump took a hatchet to pundits who are blaming VP Kamala Harris' campaign loss on an insufficient focus on working-class issues. Ms. Trump said the media seems to have missed that Harris ran an economy-focused campaign. "The press claimed, falsely, that Harris didn’t have any policy proposals, but when she unveiled them, she was ignored." She added, "...a fascist is putting together the most extreme cabinet in modern American history. Good job, everybody."

Little Marco Rubio as Trump’s next secretary of state would no doubt be “a hawkish choice” as Trump continues to build out his incoming administration, to sends a reassuring signal. Axios' Mike Allen views the administration picks that Trump has announced so far as “confirmable.”
