The decision comes as Trump assembles a team that will reflect his priorities for his second term. While Haley and Pompeo were prominent figures in his first administration, their exclusion underscores Trump’s focus on new leadership and a fresh approach to governance.

Both Haley and Pompeo have had independent political ambitions since leaving Trump’s administration. Haley launched her own presidential campaign earlier this year, and Pompeo has frequently hinted at aspirations for higher office. These moves may have influenced Trump’s decision to exclude them from his new team.
