Trump’s nominees, marathon-record hopefuls, and Milwaukee County’s recount results.

BY Claire Hanan

Happy Tuesday. If you’ve ever tried Gov. Walker’s frosted pecans, please email us immediately at letters@milwaukeemag.com. 

  • President-elect Donald Trump has officially nominated Exxon Mobil chief Rex Tillerson to be Secretary of State. In other nominee news, Trump has selected Rick Perry, the former Texas governor, for the head of the Energy Department, which he wanted to eliminate during his own (failed) presidential run. 
  • Nike is betting on these three men to break a record of epic proportions: a sub-two-hour marathon. 
  • Dear friends Kanye West and the president-elect met at Trump Tower today for unknown reasons. This evening Trump will be at West Allis’ State Fair Park for his “thank you tour.” 
  • Milwaukee County just now released the results of the recount of the Nov. 8 election.
