Betting markets show declining confidence in Trump's Cabinet nominees after Gaetz withdrawal

Betting markets show decreased confidence in Donald Trump's Cabinet nominees after Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration for attorney general due to sex trafficking allegations. This has affected the odds for other nominees, including Pete Hegseth. Hegseth's chances of confirmation as defense secretary have dropped from 82% to 54%. Other nominees, such as Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., also face uncertain odds, with Gabbard at 70% and RFK Jr. at 73%. Overall, the outlook for Trump's nominees has worsened, with some now viewed as unlikely to be confirmed. The situation reflects growing skepticism among Republican senators regarding these appointments.
