They said that although Hegseth was considered for multiple positions in Trump's first administration, he ultimately was excluded.
U.S. media: Trump expected to nominate Rubio as Secretary of State
Trump won the 2024 U.S. presidential election, and his team is gradually taking shape. According to a report by the New York Times on November 11, three insiders revealed that President-elect Trump is expected to nominate U.S. Senator Rubio as the new Secretary of State. However, sources also indicated that Trump may still change his mind at the last moment, but he seems to have already chosen Rubio. Rubio is expected to become the first Latino Secretary of State in the United States. Earlier this year, Trump also considered choosing Rubio as his running mate. The Hill reported on November 7 that, according to multiple sources, senior Republican Senator Rubio is one of the candidates for Secretary of State. The report noted that Rubio had also been on the shortlist for Trump's running mate. Although some members of Trump's team may have reservations about Rubio, if he is nominated, his confirmation by his Senate colleagues should not be an issue. The report also stated that former National Security Advisor O'Brien is considered one of the candidates to lead the State Department, and he may also hold a senior position in Trump's national security team.
Trump invites her to be the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations
A knowledgeable source told CNN that Trump has just invited New York State Assemblywoman Alice Stefanik to be nominated as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.40-year-old Stefanik graduated from Harvard University. She was elected to Congress in 2014 and became the Chair of the House Republican Conference in May 2021. During Trump's presidency, she was seen as one of the most 'loyal' Republican members on Capitol Hill. At the end of last year, following the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, divisions emerged on U.S. campuses, and the issue of 'anti-Semitism' received significant attention. On December 5, 2023, then-Harvard University President Gay attended a hearing on 'Anti-Semitism in Higher Education' alongside the presidents of the University of Pennsylvania and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. During this time, Republican Congresswoman Stefanik questioned the three presidents about whether they would discipline students who made 'hate speech' during protests. Gay responded, 'Possibly, but it depends on the specific situation.' The other two presidents gave similar responses. The statements made by the presidents drew dissatisfaction from Congress members, and the video clip of this exchange went viral on social media. Subsequently, University of Pennsylvania President Magill and Harvard University President Gay resigned one after the other. Stefanik immediately took credit after Gay announced her resignation. She wrote on social media platform X, 'I always deliver results. Gay's morally bankrupt response to my question created the most high-profile congressional testimony in U.S. history. Her response is very sad and shows a complete lack of the moral leadership and academic integrity expected of a Harvard president.'

Trump: I will not invite Haley and Pompeo to join the new administration
On November 9, Trump posted on the Truth social media that he would not invite Haley and Pompeo to join the new government being formed. Trump wrote: "I will not invite former Ambassador Nikki Haley or former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to join the Trump administration being formed. I have enjoyed and appreciated working with them in the past and thank them for their service to our country. "Screenshot of Trump's truth social media post. Haley served as the US ambassador to the United Nations during the Trump administration. She competed fiercely with Trump in the Republican primaries. After losing the primaries in New Hampshire and her home state of South Carolina, she did not respond to calls to withdraw from the campaign and support Trump, further angering Trump. However, she ultimately chose to support Trump and gave a speech at the Republican National Convention in July, urging voters who disagreed with Trump on certain issues to support him. Although the two have reconciled on the surface, a source said that Trump is still hostile to Haley because of her criticism of Trump during the Republican primaries. He attacked her, and she insisted on running for office when Trump considered it inappropriate. According to previous reports by US media, former US Secretary of State Pompeo is likely to return to become the new Secretary of Defense. However, Trump's relationship with Pompeo has deteriorated since he left office. Last year, Pompeo appeared to mock Trump in a speech to the Conservative Political Action Committee when he urged Republican voters to stay away from "celebrity leaders" with "fragile egos." Two sources familiar with the situation told CNN that in recent days, Trump has privately questioned Pompeo's loyalty and whether he can be trusted to implement his agenda.
Who is she that has assisted Trump in three campaigns and will become the first female White House Chief of Staff?
Local time on November 7, President-elect Trump issued a statement saying that his campaign team's chief advisor, Susan Wiles, will serve as the White House Chief of Staff in the Trump administration. This is Trump's first major appointment after being elected. In the statement, Trump said that Wiles was one of the key figures who helped him successfully campaign in 2016 and 2020, and Wiles rightfully becomes the first female Chief of Staff in U.S. history. At 67 years old, Wiles has been in politics for over 40 years and has advised Trump on three campaigns. She started as an assistant to Republican legislators and participated in President Reagan's campaign at the age of 23 in 1980.
"America has welcomed another morning." Clearly, Musk is very excited about Donald Trump becoming the 47th President of the United States.
On the local time of November 6, Elon Musk posted a clearly AI-generated photo on his owned X platform. In the image, an energetic Musk salutes the Stars and Stripes, and he captioned it: "America has welcomed another morning." Clearly, Musk is very excited about Donald Trump becoming the 47th President of the United States. Someone on the message board asked him: "Elon, did you sleep? I bet you must be incredibly excited." Musk promptly replied: "I’ve been wanting to sleep, but this app always wakes me up." Besides Trump's election, perhaps another thing might also make the 'real-life Iron Man' a bit excited. According to reports, with Trump’s victory, Tesla’s stock price surged, "the electric car company's stock price rose nearly 15% in pre-market trading, reaching $289.44, increasing its valuation by about $113 billion." According to (The Daily Telegraph), since the Tesla president holds 12.8% of Tesla shares, if the stock price can maintain this value by the end of the day, his wealth will increase by about $15 billion (about 107.7 billion RMB).

The U.S. presidential election has officially come to a close. But just before Harris's speech, a scene at the event caught the attention of several American media outlets: Pelosi was seen crying in the audience. According to Fox News, on Wednesday afternoon, as Pelosi arrived at Howard University in Washington, D.C., she was photographed interacting with Harris's supporters, showing signs of sadness multiple times. In one photo captured by the media, Pelosi's expression was very sorrowful; she was pursing her lips, her eyes reddened, as if she was about to cry. Despite appearing to force a smile and converse with other guests in other photos, tears were often visible in her eyes, indicating she was clearly emotionally affected. Some analysts pointed out that Pelosi's profound sadness after Harris's defeat stems from her being the last straw for Biden within the Democratic Party, being referred to as the person who 'sent Biden away with a phone call.' Now, this decision is viewed as one of the key factors behind the Democratic Party's failure in this election, and it has burdened Pelosi with the reputation of being the 'scapegoat' for the party's loss. Currently, the U.S. presidential election is nearing its end, and the fierce competition that was expected in seven key swing states has not materialized. So far, Trump has won five of those battleground states, with the remaining two states having few uncounted ballots and both significantly leading by Trump. Media predictions suggest that Trump is likely to secure over 300 electoral votes in the end. Furthermore, the Republican Party also secured a majority of seats in the Senate yesterday, and in the House of Representatives, they are only 9 votes away from achieving the 218 votes needed for victory, currently leading the Democrats 209 to 187.
Trump's First Major Appointment Announced, Breaking a Ceiling
According to foreign media reports, Trump announced on November 7 that his campaign team leader, Susan Wiles, would be the White House Chief of Staff. Trump said, "Wiles is strong, smart, and innovative, and is widely admired and respected. Wiles will continue to work tirelessly to make America great again. Wiles rightfully becomes the first female Chief of Staff in American history. I have no doubt she will make our country proud." CNN reported that Wiles' appointment breaks a glass ceiling. The White House Chief of Staff is one of the few positions in the U.S. federal government that has never been held by a woman. This is Trump's first major appointment after his election. Trump also specifically thanked Wiles in his victory speech, calling her the 'Lady of Ice and Snow'. (Related reading: Who is the woman Trump specially thanked in his victory speech?) Trump won the 2024 election and is set to officially take office on January 20, 2025.

Trump announced his victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Previously, statistics from U.S. media indicated that Trump was leading opponent Kamala Harris and had secured several key swing states. In a speech at his campaign headquarters in Florida on the early morning of November 6, Trump said, 'I want to thank the American people for giving me the extraordinary honor of being elected the 47th president of the United States and the 45th president.' Trump also stated that he would help heal America, and every day he would fight for the American people, leading the nation into a 'golden age.' He mentioned that his campaign team had 'overcome obstacles' during the election process. 'We overcame obstacles unimaginable to ordinary people, and it is now clear that we achieved the most incredible political accomplishment—look at what happened, isn’t it crazy?' He added, 'But this is a political victory our country has never seen before.'
【Phoenix Directly Reports from the Georgia Vote Counting Site: 'How will the world view us if we elect Trump again?'】 'How are you feeling?' 'Not great, but I hope I'm wrong.' At 7:30 PM EST on November 5, the Democratic Party of Georgia held an election night gathering at the Hyatt Hotel in Atlanta, where a Phoenix observer noted such conversations. This was a stark contrast to the enthusiastic atmosphere at the start of the gathering. Most notably was the Black volunteer Barbara sitting next to me, who is an E-person; she was cheering and dancing loudly when Harris won a few states, and during the intermission, she took pictures with guests like the speaking politicians and the mayor, almost like a sprite of the venue. However, after about three hours of counting, Harris was still trailing, and she sat back at the table mumbling, 'I just need Michigan and Pennsylvania.' To lift the mood, she even asked, 'Can someone tell me some good news?' But most of the seven or eight people at the table shook their heads, and IT manager Robert even analyzed the situation with data to offer some comfort. But as the counting progressed in the swing states, the mood slowly declined. The possibility of 'his' election was gradually mentioned, and Barbara said: 'Trump is too unpredictable and too unreliable, you know what kind of person he is. If we elect him again, how will the international community view America? Our image will be very poor, don't you think?' I could only try to comfort her with the saying 'extreme things will reverse,' and she replied, 'But our problems have been exposed for over a decade; we should have a better future.' Fortunately, when we talked about Chinese food and travel, Barbara's mood improved a little. As the counting neared five hours, the hotel staff announced they would close the banquet hall. The Democratic leader stated: 'The election battle continues, everyone should have confidence, and also, tonight don't turn on the TV or phones; you have more important things to do tomorrow.' #BabyMarvin_f9c7🔥
Election Night: Musk and Other Heavyweight Donors Gather with Trump at Mar-a-Lago
The voting for the U.S. presidential election is in full swing. According to Bloomberg, Elon Musk and several heavyweight donors gathered on Tuesday evening at Mar-a-Lago, the estate of Republican candidate and former U.S. President Donald Trump. Sources revealed that Trump would spend most of the day at Mar-a-Lago, where he sent mixed signals regarding whether he would concede if he lost after voting in Florida. He told reporters, 'If I lose the election - a fair election - I will be the first to come out and admit it.' He also stated that this election has been fair so far. Trump is expected to take two to three days to get the voting results from the key swing state of Pennsylvania. He previously hinted that if he loses the election, he might claim that there was fraud in Pennsylvania, similar to 2020. That evening, Trump's campaign team held a watch party at the Palm Beach Convention Center, expecting thousands to attend. Michael Whatley, chairman of the Republican National Committee, expressed 'cautious optimism' about Trump's chances in North Carolina and other swing states.

Pennsylvania Judge: Musk's Million-Dollar Lottery Can Continue
According to an Associated Press report on November 4, a judge in Pennsylvania ruled on November 4 that Musk's million-dollar lottery can continue. In the final stages of the U.S. election, to rally votes for former President Trump, American billionaire Musk began daily drawings on October 19 for one swing state voter who signed his petition, awarding $1 million until election day (November 5), a move that sparked significant controversy. On October 28, the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office in Pennsylvania filed a lawsuit attempting to stop the 'America PAC' controlled by billionaire Musk from distributing $1 million to registered voters in swing states, with prosecutors accusing them of 'operating an illegal lottery.'
I recently brought in 800 people in three weeks for #BabyMarvin , internal news, it has already expanded to Taiwan and Hong Kong, completely relying on the community's collective effort to promote it, and now we are starting to develop online power, it will definitely explode in the future.🔥
