Trump nominee Brooke Rollins clears major hurdle on way to confirmation

When it comes to his Cabinet nominations, Donald Trump just keeps on winning.

The latest victory for MAGA was members of the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee voting favorably for Trump's nominee, Brooke Rollins, to head up America's Department of Agriculture (USDA).

The outcome clears her for a vote in the full Senate very soon.

Rollins was referred favorably to the upper chamber in a unanimous vote.

Trump is very familiar with Rollins. Brooke previously served as a White House aide during Trump's first administration and then as the president and CEO of the America First Policy Institute.

Unlike some nominees like Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, and RFK Jr., Rollins is seen as an uncontroversial nominee.

Many Americans were thrilled that Trump picked Rollins to lead the USDA. Shortly after her nomination, she was endorsed by a coalition of more than 415 farmers, agricultural, and growers groups.

Rollins was praised for her "foundational knowledge of agriculture, as well as her policy and business bona fides that they said made her uniquely qualified for the role of U.S. agriculture secretary," Fox News reports.

If confirmed, Rollins has promised to "immediately begin to modernize, realign, rethink the United States Department of Agriculture."

"We understand that serving all American agriculture and all the American people means ensuring that our rural communities are equipped and supported to prosper, not just today, but tomorrow and the day after that in the many tomorrows to come," she recently told lawmakers.
