Trump Transition by the Numbers
In just 43 days President-elect Donald Trump will take the oath of office and become America's 45th Commander in Chief.
Here's a look at the numbers as this fourth week of his transition process winds down.
- 85 meetings
- 71,000 resumes submitted
- 200,000 ideas and suggestions submitted at GreatAgain.gov
- 50% of Trump's top administration officials named
Trump has added another name to his growing cabinet. He's picked Andrew Puzder to be his Secretary of Labor. Puzder is the CEO of Hardee's and Carl's Jr. fast food restaurants.
Thursday, the president-elect is meeting with retired Admiral James Stavridis. Trump has already named three retired generals to his inner circle as Secretaries of Defense and Homeland Security and his National Security Advisor. He's also meeting with the former Ford Motor Company CEO Alan Mulally and Idaho Congressman Raúl Labrador.
He's holding a closed meeting Thursday afternoon with first responders and others involved in that attack at Ohio State University last week. After that he'll meet Vice President-elect Mike Pence in Des Moines, Iowa for another "Thank you America" rally.
Friday, the president-elect plans to meet with West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin. West Virginia is a state that's been hit hard by the decline of the coal industry.
