Photos from Capitol Hill show President-elect Donald Trump's nominees for key cabinet positions meeting with senators to discuss their qualifications and potential confirmations.
Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump ’s choice to be defense secretary, arrives for a meeting with Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, on Capitol Hill, Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2024, in Washington.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, speaks during the U.S. Capitol Christmas tree lighting ceremony on the West Front of the Capitol, Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2024, in Washington. It’s not unusual for senators to wait until after confirmation hearings to publicly announce a decision. But Republicans are under more pressure than usual as Trump and his allies make clear that they will confront senators who don’t fall in line.
“It’s not about putting yeses on the board, it’s about keeping nos off the board,” said Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin, one of Trump’s top allies in the Senate, who speaks with him frequently.
