Donald Trump has nominated Jared Isaacman, a billionaire online payments entrepreneur and the first private astronaut to conduct a space walk, as the next head of NASA.
The nod raises questions about potential conflicts of interest, given Isaacman’s financial ties to SpaceX chief Elon Musk, who is set to co-chair a government efficiency commission and is one of Mr Trump’s closest advisers.
President-elect Donald J. Trump named Kelly Loeffler, a former senator from Georgia, as his choice to lead the Small Business Administration. Loeffler was appointed to her Senate seat by Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia in 2019 when her predecessor resigned for health reasons. She lost her re-election campaign during the 2020 cycle to Rev. Raphael Warnock, allowing Democrats to gain control of the upper chamber. During that campaign, she touted her voting record that mirrored then-President Trump’s agenda. Loeffler donated nearly $4 million to Republicans this election cycle, including roughly $2.5 million to Trump’s campaign.
