Rollins’ nomination marks the end of Trump’s picks for his cabinet – a group of 15 advisers who each helm a bureaucratic department within the American government.
Each nominee will have to be confirmed by the Senate.
Trump has chosen an eclectic array of cabinet picks, from Maga loyalists to former political rivals.
Some of his nominations – such as Robert Kennedy Jr for the Department of Health and Human Services and Matt Gaetz for attorney general – have raised eyebrows.
Kennedy, a former environmental lawyer and vaccine sceptic who ran against Trump as an independent before dropping out and endorsing him, would be in charge of the Food and Drug Administration.
Gaetz, a bombastic former Florida congressman who spearheaded the ouster of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, withdrew his nomination and resigned over allegations of sexual misconduct with a minor, soliciting for sex and illicit drug use.
Media reported that senators made it clear it would be difficult to confirm Gaetz for the job. Gaetz has denied wrongdoing, but said he withdrew from consideration because he was becoming a “distraction”.
Trump did not waste time, quickly nominating Pam Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, to the post instead.
Another pick, Pete Hegseth, has also been embroiled in scandal, after a police report revealed new details about an alleged sexual assault encounter the former Fox-news host had with a woman in 2017.
Hegseth has denied any wrongdoing and claims the encounter was consensual. He was never arrested or charged.
Education secretary nominee Linda McMahon – the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment – has also been criticised for her lack of experience in education.
