Trump Picks Elaine Chao As Transportation Secretary

In the first of what Mike Pence called “several very important announcements,” Politico reports that former Labor Secretary Elaine Chao is set to be announced later Tuesday as President-elect Donald Trump’s choice to lead the Department of Transportation.
The other contender for the position was former Democratic U. S. Representative from Tennessee Harold Ford.
As Politico adds:
Chao, who ran the Labor Department under President George W. Bush, met with the incoming president at Trump Tower last week and discussed labor and transportation policy, Trump’s transition team said then.
The formal announcement is expected at 1 p.m., one source said.
