The White House hasn’t made a shortlist of candidates, but instead has a handful of names that the Trump administration is actively considering as advisors continue to gather resumes, according to one of the people familiar with the matter who discussed the search on condition of anonymity. The White House declined to comment.Kan won Senate confirmation by a 90-7 vote for his current job at the Transportation Department.
Cain and Moore dropped their candidacies after Republicans and Democrats spoke out against them. Cain was criticized over allegations of sexual harassment, and Moore over his past writings about women.
