The U.S. President-elect Donald Trump added a name to his list of potential candidates for secretary of defense — outgoing Sen. Kelly Ayotte, The Washington Post reported.

In case of Ayotte’s appointment, she will become the first woman heading the Pentagon.

The newspaper noted that if chosen, Ayotte would stand out in a Trump administration as a neoconservative defense hawk and one of the few women in the incoming Trump Cabinet.

Trump won the U.S. presidential elections on 8 November. The President-elect will take office after the inauguration on January 20.
