Trump team ‘confident’ Senate Republicans will approve cabinet selections

Trump team ‘confident’ Senate Republicans will approve cabinet selections

President-elect Trump’s team is confident that Senate Republicans will approve his cabinet selection – despite some of the picks raising eyebrows from Republicans and Democrats alike.

A Trump transition official confirmed to Fox News that the president-elect is ‘confident that Senate Republicans will hold the line.’

‘President Trump is confident that Senate Republicans will hold the line and respect the will of the American people by approving his cabinet nominees,’ the official said.

The official said that Trump is ‘very happy’ with the vice president-elect, saying that Vance is ‘laser focused on already getting the ball rolling on his highly-qualified nominees.’

Trump’s nominees and administration picks during his second administration are being publicly announced at a much faster pace than during his first administration in 2016, which the transition team attributed to Trump’s commitment to putting ‘America first.’

‘The American people re-elected President Trump by a resounding margin, giving him a mandate to implement the promises he made on the campaign trail, and his Cabinet picks reflect his priority to put America First. President Trump will continue to appoint highly qualified men and women who have the talent, experience and necessary skill sets to Make America Great Again,’ Trump-Vance transition spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt previously told Fox News Digital when asked about Trump’s speedy rollout of Cabinet picks. 

Trump’s most contentious choice so far has been Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., for attorney general. The pick came as a surprise to many since the firebrand does not have any prior law enforcement experience and faces misconduct allegations.

Gaetz was under investigation by the House Ethics Committee, which subpoenaed him as recently as September for an ongoing investigation into alleged sexual misconduct with a minor. 

Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing and had told the panel he would ‘no longer voluntarily participate’ in its probe. Gaetz resigned from Congress shortly after Trump made the announcement. 

On Wednesday, Vance and Gaetz were spotted leaving the Capitol.

A source familiar previously told Fox News Digital that Gaetz is ‘working the phones’ to address concerns from GOP senators ahead of his confirmation hearings next year. He is also making the rounds with Vance on Capitol Hill to meet with senators directly. 

‘The meetings have been productive with AG nominee Gaetz listening to senators’ thoughts on the role of the DOJ and the confirmation process. Gaetz is looking forward to meeting with more senators throughout this process on the Hill,’ a Trump transition official told Fox News Digital. 

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Trump transition team for comment.
