President-elect Donald Trump plans to nominate Elaine Chao to lead the Department of Transportation, Politico and Reuters reported Tuesday.
Chao, 63, has a substantial record of government service and would be a conventional choice to lead the department. She previously served as secretary of labor from 2001 to 2009, becoming first Asian-American woman in U.S. history to be granted a Cabinet position. Her experience also includes stints as deputy transportation secretary under former President George W. Bush, chair of the Federal Maritime Commission and director of the Peace Corps.
Chao is the wife of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who is, along with his fellow senators, responsible for confirming the presidents Cabinet appointments.

(24,461 posts)3. Great. Just when you thought we cleansed Washington of Bewsh 43.
Can we just say, once and for all, that there's NOTHING ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT about picking Trump and their voters are nothing but a bunch of racist, sexist and downright fucking stupid corporate ass-eaters?
