Trump flanked by top allies, cabinet picks at UFC 309: 'USA, USA'
Key cabinet picks -- including Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tulsi Gabbard and Robert Kennedy Jr. -- joined President-elect Trump at UFC 309 at the Madison Square Garden.
Trump was joined by top supporters turned cabinet picks as he entered Madison Square Garden to raucous cheers and chants of "USA, USA."
Along with cabinet picks, the president-elect was joined by Speaker Mike Johnson, R-LA, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.
Trump was also accompanied by UFC President Dana White - a longtime fan of the president-elect from before his political aspirations.
Trump has attended UFC matches since - including during his 2024 campaign.
The stop at the historic Madison Square Garden comes after Trump made rapid-fire choices to fill his cabinet in the weeks after winning the Presidential Election on Nov. 5.
"I am thrilled to announce that Chris Wright will be joining my Administration as both United States Secretary of Energy, and Member of the newly formed Council of National Energy," Trump said in a statement released Saturday.
WATCH:
Trump's nominees and administration picks during his second administration are being publicly announced at a much faster pace than during his first administration in 2016, which the transition team attributed to Trump's commitment to putting "America first."
