Several Republican lawmakers and former GOP presidential candidates are among Trump’s cabinet list, Bloomberg Politics reported on Wednesday.

US Senators Bob Corker and Jeff Sessions, as well as Representative Michael McCaul are all in the running for cabinet positions, the report said, citing people familiar with Trump’s thinking.

Several former Republican presidential candidates, including Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee and Newt Gingrich are also being weighed for multiple positions.

Carson and Gingrich are potential picks for secretary of Health and Human Services, while Christie is being weighed for secretary of Homeland Security.

The report also said that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is in the lead to take the attorney general.

However, a source told the BuzzFeed news organization that the list is not final, and will likely be changed in the future.

Trump stunned the world on Wednesday by defeating heavily favored Hillary Clinton in Tuesday's presidential election, sending the United States on a new, uncertain path.

Trump rode a wave of anger toward the elite US establishment to win the White House race against Clinton, a longtime Washington insider.

Pollsters may not have understood the depth of the resentment towards the former first lady, US senator and secretary of state, whom many saw as a corrupt member of the elite Washington establishment.

Trump, who at 70 will be the oldest first-term US president, defeated his Democratic rival after a bitter and divisive campaign. During the campaign, Trump was the target of sharp disapproval, not just from Democrats but from many in his own party, Press TV reported.
