Gaetz is not the only Trump nominee who faces ‘danger’ in confirmation: Tiana Lowe Doescher

Published



The Washington Examiner’s Tiana Lowe Doescher suggested there is more than one nominee for Trump’s Cabinet who faces “danger” in his confirmation, despite the brunt of attention being given to former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL).

Doescher noted that presidents rarely get to have all of their nominees confirmed by Congress, with the most recent president to achieve this feat being former President Ronald Reagan. With Gaetz’s nomination receiving the most controversy and doubt, Doescher noted it has become “pretty clear” Trump is willing to go “onto the mat” for the former Florida congressman, which includes having Vice President-elect J.D. Vance back Gaetz among Republican senators.
