Fetterman praises Trump's cabinet picks while criticizing Gaetz nomination

Democratic Senator John Fetterman praised some of President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks, specifically Republican Senators Marco Rubio and Elise Stefanik, calling them “serious, qualified” choices. He expressed disapproval of Matt Gaetz’s nomination as attorney general. Fetterman described Gaetz's appointment as “God-tier kind of trolling” and suggested that Republican Senator Eric Schmitt would have been a better choice. Gaetz announced his immediate resignation from Congress following his appointment. Fetterman indicated he would support Rubio during his confirmation hearing, acknowledging political differences but recognizing Rubio as a strong candidate. He also noted Trump’s surprising support in Pennsylvania.
