Will any of Trump's picks - including RFK, Tulsi Gabbard, and Pete Hegseth - be next?

It's being reported that blue states like California, New York, and Illinois will lose electoral votes, while red states included Texas, Florida, and Tennessee will gain votes. Will this new map make it even harder for a Democrat to win the White House? 

President Trump continues to make news while hinting at the possibility of running for a third term next election The 22nd Amendment is clear that no President shall serve more than 2 terms - but how serious is he about working with Republicans in Congress to change the amendment and run again in 2028?
