Matt Gaetz faces low odds for attorney general role as skepticism grows among Senate Republicans

dailycaller.com

CNN's Harry Enten reported that Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz's chances of becoming President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general are low. Gaetz was announced for the position on November 13, but skepticism exists among Senate Republicans and public opinion is largely against him. Enten noted that betting markets show only 37% support for Gaetz's confirmation, the lowest among Trump's cabinet picks. He highlighted Gaetz's contentious relationships in Congress, which may hinder his ability to secure necessary votes. Despite high public interest in Gaetz's nomination, initial polling indicates he is the least popular of Trump's choices. Enten emphasized that Gaetz's past actions may lead to significant opposition in the Senate.
