Bobby Jindal and Vivek Ramaswamy may get berths in new Trump Administration ::: Will Kashyap 'Kash' Patel make it as new CIA chief ???

 Trump 2.0 may find key places for Indian Americans. That's the speculation all about !!  


The 44-year-old Kashyap 'Kash' Patel has Gujarati ancestry. He served as the former Chief of Staff to Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller. 




Kash Patel : Gujarat connections !!



Before that, as the Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council, he executed several of then-President Donald Trump's top priorities, including eliminating ISIS and al-Qaeda leadership like al-Baghdadi and Qasem al-Rimi, and the repatriation of many American hostages. 

Will he make it as new CIA chief ? 


He had also served as the National Security Advisor and Senior Counsel for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, where he spearheaded the investigation into the Russian active measures campaign to influence the 2016 presidential election.  


Vivek Ramaswamy himself tried his luck as a Presidential candidate. He later withdrew and has hinted at potential roles in a Trump White House, including overseeing immigration, an emotive and important plank of Trump's campaign, as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, according to USA TODAY.


Ramaswamy was also once considered a potential pick for Trump's Vice-President, only to lose out to now US Vice-President-elect JD Vance.  


At a rally in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Trump praised Ramaswamy as “smart as hell” and hinted that he could have a major role in his administration. "We can put him in charge of one of these big monsters [in government], and he'll do a better job than anybody you can think of,” Trump said. 


Known for his “Ten Truths” platform, Ramaswamy has advocated for reclaiming America’s greatness, a message that aligns with Trump’s “America First” ideology and could make him a strong contender for a significant cabinet position.  


Another Indian American, Bobby Jindal, who now chairs the Center for a Healthy America, aligns closely with Trump’s policy goals, particularly on health reform and reducing the influence of the Affordable Care Act. 


His background as a state governor and experience in health policy make him a strong contender for leading Health and Human Services Secretary, HHS.
