President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly considering Kelly Loeffler, a former U.S. Senator, for the role of agriculture secretary. The news was shared by a CNN reporter on X.

Loeffler, who has been a strong supporter of Trump, was appointed to the U.S. Senate from Georgia in 2019. However, she lost her seat to Democrat Raphael Warnock in a special election held in 2021.

As a co-owner of the WNBA team Atlanta Dream, Loeffler faced criticism in 2020 for opposing the league's support of the 'Black Lives Matter' movement. This stance led to backlash, and the team was eventually sold in 2021.
