Trump taps 19 Fox pundits, personalities and producers for second term
President Donald Trump has named more Fox News personalities for positions in his administration than belong to his beloved Village People. More than could play in the starting offense of his hometown New York Jets. More than there are groups in the periodic table.
So far, he has selected at least 19 former Fox News hosts, journalists and commentators for senior positions in his second White House term. Of those, seven were working for Fox at the time Trump announced them.
Some of the posts count among the most important in the land. He's tapped former Fox & Friends Weekend host Pete Hegseth for defense secretary, former Fox pundit and U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence and former Fox Business host, U.S. Rep. and reality show star Sean Duffy as transportation secretary. All of those require confirmation by the U.S. Senate to take office.
Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former star of the Fox show The Five, left the network and soon after became engaged to Donald Trump Jr. They have since split, but the president has picked her to be Ambassador to Greece.
