Trump transition live updates: Trump picks Waltz as national security adviser

Although ABC News has not yet predicted control of the House, Republicans are working to maintain their slim majority.

But already, Trump has chosen several lawmakers to serve in his administration: Rep. Elise Stefanik as United Nations ambassador and Rep. Mike Waltz as national security adviser.

President Mike Johnson, when asked about the issue Tuesday, said he had spoken about it several times with Trump.

“We have a really talented Republican Congress…Many of them can take on important positions in the new administration. But President Trump totally understands, appreciates math and it’s just a numbers game,” he said. Johnson said. “You know, we think we’ll have a larger majority than last time.”

The speaker added: “I don’t expect more members to leave, but I’ll give it a choice.”
