Doug Collins selected by Donald Trump as secretary of veterans affairs


President-elect Donald Trump has nominated former House member Doug Collins to lead the Department of Veteran Affairs in his administration. Collins, an Iraq war veteran and Air Force reservist, was praised by Trump for his service and dedication to veterans. Collins has vowed to deliver top-notch care to veterans, fight corruption, and ensure they receive the benefits they deserve.

Collins, 58, served in the House from 2012 to 2021 and was a vocal supporter of Trump during his first impeachment inquiry in 2019. Trump has expressed support for Collins in the past, considering him as a potential challenger to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp in 2022, though Collins ultimately decided against running for higher office.

The nomination of Collins for the Cabinet post requires Senate confirmation. Trump has faced criticism in the past for disparaging comments he made about fallen service members, with former White House chief of staff John Kelly confirming reports that Trump called them “losers” and “suckers.” Despite this controversy, Trump continues to announce his Cabinet picks rapidly, with recent selections including anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for health and human services secretary and Fox News host Pete Hegseth for defense secretary.
