Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith issued the following statement.
U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.) today issued the following statement regarding the possibility of being asked by President-elect Donald Trump to serve as Secretary of Agriculture:
“It’s an honor to be mentioned as a potential nominee for Secretary of Agriculture, but my plans are to remain in the Senate and continue to deliver for the people of Mississippi. As a former state agriculture commissioner and with my current committee assignments, I remain wholeheartedly committed to the ag community, its growth, and its success. President Trump will always have my support, and I believe I can be most valuable to him and our country’s farmers and ranchers through my work in the U.S. Senate, particularly as we work toward a new farm bill and address other agricultural and economic issues. As I have stated previously, I plan to seek re-election in 2026.”

Very nice way to announce you didn't get picked
You weren't asked. Plus you voted for Thune.
Mississippi's only conservative US Senator.
5:15- first part true. Second part not relevant.
She wasn't asked, wasn't going to be asked. This is all a Mississippi story, not a DC one. But, she is a loyal Trumpite, worked hard for his election, and will be a valuable ally of his in the Senate.
If she wanted to leave the Senate for a lower level than Secretary, she could probably have it. But most Senators, especially those low in seniority but on Approps and a buddy of POTUS, would rather stay in the Senate than take a two year stint before being fired and out.
Thune is a good man. Here is yet another example of some delusional person who thinks that it is they alone who understands what it means to be a Republican. Please learn a lesson from the Dems about being so dogmatic. It’s a big country out there and there ain’t but two parties.
