Four Women Exit Trump's Second-Term Cabinet in Three Months

In three months, Trump’s second-term cabinet has seen four women depart—Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, and Tulsi Gabbard—leaving a smaller female contingent amid scrutiny of immigration policy, DOJ handling, and Iran-related decisions. The piece notes that while the second-term cabinet includes more women than his first term, non-White representation remains limited (about 17%), and Biden’s administration was more diverse. Remaining female appointees include Brooke Rollins, Linda McMahon, and Kelly Loeffler; rumors and investigations continue to swirl around other senior officials, and Gabbard left for personal reasons tied to family health and ongoing questions about U.S. wartime policy.
