President-elect Trump picked Matt Gaetz to be Attorney General, Fox News host Pete Hegseth to be Defense Secretary and Tulsi Gabbard to be Director of National Intelligence. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) has worked with Gaetz and he joins José Díaz-Balart to discuss the choices.
Donald Trump's choice of Rep. Matt Gaetz to be his attorney general was disturbing and shocking to some, while others, like Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California, seemed mighty confident the Florida Republican won't actually be attorney general when all is said and done. But listening to some GOP senators, it sure seems like Gaetz might end up with the gig. “President Trump and JD Vance are gonna be running the Senate,” Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama told Fox News on Wednesday.
Aside from that, Tuberville voted against President Joe Biden’s Cabinet nominees 15 times in 2021, despite Biden having won the 2020 election with a larger popular vote margin than Trump will end up with in this year's election. So Tuberville’s belief that it’s not the Senate’s job to determine who a president wants in his Cabinet reeks of hypocrisy. Nonetheless, the senator issued a threat to other Republican senators that amounted to, “fall in line … or else.
