The decision comes after both Haley and Pompeo pursued political ambitions outside of Trump’s administration. Haley ran against Trump during the 2024 Republican primaries, while Pompeo has been widely viewed as a potential presidential contender.
Trump’s move reflects his intent to form a team that fully supports his vision for the next four years. By leaving out these high-profile figures, Trump aims to avoid potential conflicts and focus on implementing his policy goals.
