Reception

On November 14, 2024, Reuters characterized Trump's nominations thus far as rewarding loyalists, with some nominees having notably few qualifications for their proposed job.[100]

A CBS News poll released on November 25, 2024, found that 59% of Americans approve of the presidential transition.[101]
