Gaetz withdraws from attorney general consideration raising questions about Trump's Cabinet nominees

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from consideration for attorney general, citing concerns over a lengthy confirmation battle. His exit raises questions about the fate of other controversial Cabinet nominees from President-elect Donald Trump, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Pete Hegseth. Trump has nominated several traditional candidates, but also some with contentious backgrounds. Republican senators may face pressure to confirm these nominees, despite potential opposition from more moderate members of the party. The Senate is expected to have a Republican majority, which could facilitate confirmations. However, the dynamics may shift following Gaetz's withdrawal, potentially allowing for more dissent against Trump's more controversial picks.
