President-elect Donald Trump wasted no time releasing his picks for Cabinet positions, sending the nation into a frenzy over several different selections. Some notable figures, however, were left out, especially those who held positions in Trump’s previous administration.

Here are five people who were snubbed in the competition to be chosen for Trump’s Cabinet.

Kelly Loeffler for agriculture secretary

Former Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler was widely thought to be Trump’s selection for agriculture secretary. She’s now the co-chairwoman of Trump’s second inaugural committee alongside real estate mogul Steve Witkoff, who was just named Trump’s Middle East envoy.

Loeffler supported overturning the 2020 election results but ended up voting in favor of certifying results after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. She also backed Trump during his Georgia criminal case, testifying as a witness before a Fulton County grand jury in 2022.

Her support of and proximity to Trump’s inner circle wasn’t enough for her to snatch the USDA secretary role, though. Brooke Rollins was announced as Trump’s Cabinet pick on Saturday.
