BATON ROUGE, La.—Appearing jovial and relaxed, Donald Trump plunged back into election politics Friday, a full month after he won the presidency, enthusiastically prodding Louisiana Republicans to turn out for Saturday’s Senate runoff election and protect the party’s 52-48 margin in Washington.
Addressing a large crowd at an airport hangar, at one point he tossed his trademark “Make America Great Again” hat to a supporter. He noted that he'd been named Time’s “Person of the Year” and asked the crowd if the magazine should go back to its former “Man of the Year.”
Gauging the boisterous response, he declared the answer was yes.
In private, people close to Trump said he was expected to name another Goldman Sachs executive to his White House team. The president-elect’s National Economic Council is to be led by Gary Cohn, president and chief operating officer of the Wall Street bank, which Trump repeatedly complained during the election campaign would control Hillary Clinton if she won.
