  • A **stack of employment offer letters** is expected to be sent to political appointees for Trump's upcoming administration, with just two weeks until the inauguration.
  • The transition aimed to appoint **up to 2,000 political appointees**, but it is currently falling short of that goal, as confirmed by two sources.

  • Concerns have been raised within the MAGA movement regarding the hiring of **establishment Republicans**, alongside discussions about staffers' alignment with Trump's agenda.
