Gaetz withdraws from attorney general consideration as Trump faces Cabinet nomination challenges

Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from consideration for attorney general, marking the first sign of potential resistance from within the Republican Party to President-elect Trump's Cabinet picks. This follows concerns raised by key Republican senators about Gaetz's qualifications. Other Trump nominees are also facing scrutiny. Nikki Haley criticized Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's choice for director of national intelligence, for her past statements and associations. Concerns have also been raised about Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump's pick for health secretary. Historically, incoming presidents often encounter challenges with Cabinet nominations. Trump himself faced similar issues during his first term, with several nominees withdrawing or being rejected due to various controversies.
