Trump is expected to name his choice to run Treasury as early as tomorrow, sources say

President-elect Donald Trump is expected to announce a choice to be his Treasury Secretary as early as tomorrow, two sources familiar with the matter tell CNN.

Co-chair of the transition, Howard Lutnick had been part of the hold up on choosing the cabinet position after inserting himself into the race against hedge fund manager, Scott Bessent. The jockeying between the two led to Trump expanding the field to include Sen. Bill Hagerty, former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh and billionaire Marc Rowan.

Sources said that with Lutnick out of the way, being nominated for Commerce secretary today, they were expecting the rest of the process to move quickly and smoothly.

All of the candidates have been interviewed by Trump and the transition team. The sources insisted that no one had been chosen yet, but there was hope that they could clear this critical position as early as tomorrow.
