Article excerpts:

“President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday announced that he will nominate Stephen Alexander Vaden to be deputy secretary of USDA under Secretary nominee Brooke Rollins.

Vaden, 42, was general counsel at USDA during Trump's first term in office. As Trump noted in his post on Truth Social, "where he won two cases before the United States Supreme Court, relocated and reorganized the Agencies that comprise the Department to better serve Rural America, and engaged in substantial regulatory reform. Stephen joined the USDA on Day One of my First Term, and left in December 2020 after I nominated him, and the U.S. Senate confirmed him, to continue to serve the American People as an Article III Judge on the Court of International Trade…"

"…But more important than any accomplishment on his extensive resume is his deep understanding that American greatness is a direct function of American agriculture -- and, as Lincoln said, USDA is "The People's Department" and ought to be run as such.”
