President Trump's second-term Cabinet has been home to more women than his first term and his Republican predecessors, but three women have already left the post. Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer left the administration for the private sector following several misconduct scandals. Her departure followed those of Attorney General Pam Bondi and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The departures were not surprising as several men in the president's inner circle have faced similar issues. Other prominent figures, including FBI Director Kash Patel and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, have faced calls to resign but remain in their positions. The administration's actions have been seen as a barrier to progress in diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives within the federal workforce.
