President-elect Donald Trump is expected to name former Sen. Kelly Loeffler his nominee for Agriculture secretary, CNN reported Friday, elevating the Georgia Republican after she and her billionaire husband spent more than $5 million boosting Trump during the election,

If her nomination is confirmed, it will be a key position, as Department of Health and Human Services nominee Robert F. Kennedy has threatened to crack down on unhealthy food – which is making many in the agricultural industry nervous about government overreach.

Loeffler drew criticism early in her Senate term for selling off stock in retail firms following a briefing on the coronavirus pandemic. The $20 million deal raised concerns over insider trading. She lost her seat in early 2021 to Democrat Raphael Warnock.
