Summary
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Scott Turner, a former NFL player and Texas state representative, as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Turner, who has a background in urban revitalization and previously led the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council, will follow Ben Carson in the role. Critics warn that Trump's proposed housing reforms may favor wealthy investors and affect funding for working-class families. Turner is notable for being the first Black appointee in Trump’s second administration but awaits Senate confirmation. Trump's Cabinet transitions are rapid, with other key appointments also made on the same day.
