 President-elect Donald Trump’s transition is moving full steam ahead as he announced his latest Cabinet pick on Tuesday: Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick as Commerce secretary.

In a statement, Trump said Lutnick would “lead our Tariff and Trade agenda, with additional direct responsibility for the Office of the United States Trade Representative.” Trump has promised sweeping tariffs when he is sworn into office.

Trump also picked Dr. Mehmet Oz to be the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, according to a statement released on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Vice President-elect JD Vance will bring some of Trump’s Cabinet picks to Capitol Hill this week to meet with key Republican senators who will be involved in the confirmation process, sources say.

• Trump pushing Senate to confirm Matt Gaetz for attorney general role: Trump and Gaetz, have been calling senators to garner support for him to be confirmed, according to sources, amid growing calls from some top Republicans to access a House ethics report on Gaetz. Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin of Illinois said that Democrats on his panel are working to get the Justice Department to hand over documents relating to their investigation into the allegations of sexual misconduct against Gaetz, while they still have control of the Senate.
