President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet picks are facing scrutiny from some Republican senators, injecting uncertainty into the confirmation process. Concerns have been raised about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s views on vaccines, Pete Hegseth's accusations of sexual misconduct, and Tulsi Gabbard's meeting with Syrian President Bashar Assad. While some GOP senators support Trump's nominees, others remain hesitant, adding pressure to the already tense political climate.
WASHINGTON — The fate of President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet is still unclear after Republican senators spent much of December carefully dodging questions about Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ’s views on vaccines, accusations of sexual misconduct against Pete Hegseth and Tulsi Gabbard's 2017 meeting with then-President Bashar Assad of Syria.
Several of Trump's picks are expected to sail to confirmation, perhaps even with some Democratic votes. Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., has indicated he will support Florida Sen. Marco Rubio for secretary of State and Rep. Elise Stefanik for United Nations ambassador, as have a few other Democrats.For the more controversial nominees, though, party unity will be key.
