President-elect Donald Trump has set a modern record by appointing 12 Cabinet-level officials in just 12 days post-election, a pace significantly faster than his predecessors. This rapid selection process, which contrasts with the more methodical approaches of Biden, Obama, and Bush, has raised questions about the thoroughness of vetting and adherence to traditional norms. Among Trump's recent picks is Chris Wright, CEO of Liberty Energy, as Secretary of Energy, highlighting Trump's focus on the energy sector and his unconventional transition strategy.
