President-elect Donald Trump is letting the American people know that he's getting ready to push his agenda forward when he takes office -- repealing Obamacare, cutting back on taxes and regulations so businesses can grow again, and bringing back jobs.
The president-elect talked about his plans on his "thank-you tour" visit to Wisconsin, where he told the crowd that he and House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., would be working together to get his agenda through Congress.
"We have some amazing things in store. And we're going to work on taxes. We're going to work on Obamacare," Trump said.
The president-elect also took on the topic of his unconventional pick for secretary of state -- ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson.
"Rex will be a fierce advocate for America's interests around the world and has the insight and talents necessary to help reverse years of foreign policy blunders and disasters," Trump told the crowd.
While Tillerson has the approval of many, some Republicans and Democrats question his close ties to Russia, setting up a possible confirmation battle.
Meanwhile, the president-elect is continuing to meet with a wide variety of people, including Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, musician Kanye West and former NFL players Jim Brown and Ray Lewis.
On the agenda for Wednesday are meetings with some of America's top tech leaders from companies like Apple, Facebook, Google and Amazon.
Despite early reports that Trump's transition team was "in chaos," he's nearly finished filling out his key choices for his administration. On Tuesday, he announced former Texas Gov. Rick Perry for energy secretary and Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., for interior secretary.
All of the cabinet positions require Senate approval -- with Democrats certain to oppose some of them but Republicans holding the majority and the ability to confirm Trump's choices.
