Donald Trump’s Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago, is once again a political hub, drawing hopefuls and insiders eager to shape his upcoming administration. Known as the “Winter White House,” the estate has become a rival center of power as Trump assembles his team.
Notable visitors include North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and ex-Defense Department chief of staff Kash Patel, rumored for top cabinet positions. Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have also been seen, with Kennedy aiming for a health policy role. Trump’s transition emphasizes loyalty, with Florida’s Susie Wiles, a conservative strategist, appointed chief of staff.
Florida insiders anticipate more state representation in Trump’s administration, with figures like Rick Scott and Marco Rubio eyed for high-level roles. As Palm Beach leans more “MAGA,” Mar-a-Lago is poised to remain a symbolic center for Trump’s political influence, even as he returns to Washington.
