They include some of his staunchest allies on Capitol Hill and key advisers to his 2024 campaign.
Here is a running list of the people Trump has selected, or is expected to select, to serve in his administration.
Dr. Dave Weldon, a former Florida congressman, will serve as the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Trump described Weldon as a "respected conservative leader on fiscal and social issues."
The post will require Senate confirmation starting in January 2025.
Trump has named Dr. Janette Nesheiwat as his pick for surgeon general.
The president-elect said the doctor, a Fox News medical contributor, is "a fierce advocate and strong communicator for preventive medicine and public health."
The surgeon general is confirmed by the Senate.
Trump said he has nominated Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer as labor secretary.
"Lori has worked tirelessly with both Business and Labor to build America's workforce, and support the hardworking men and women of America," Trump said in a statement.
The Cabinet position requires Senate confirmation.
The Oregon congresswoman was elected to represent the state's 5th Congressional District in 2022 and she previously served as the mayor of Happy Valley, Oregon.She lost her bid for re-election two weeks ago.
Trump announced he has nominated Russell Vought as the director of the Office of Management and Budget.
The president-elect described Vought, who served in the same role during Trump's first term for several months toward the end of the administration, as an "aggressive cost cutter and deregulator."
Vought has ties to Project 2025. He authored a chapter on "Executive Office of the President" for Project 2025's "Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise," which Project 2025 describes as "a comprehensive policy guide for the next conservative U.S. president."
His Center For Renewing America is also listed as a member of Project 2025's advisory board, according to the plan's website.
The position he's been nominated for requires Senate confirmation.
