McCaskill names Senate Republicans likely to oppose Gaetz's attorney general nomination

Former Senator Claire McCaskill predicts that several Senate Republicans will oppose Rep. Matt Gaetz's nomination as attorney general. She identified 11 senators likely to vote against him, including Mitch McConnell and Susan Collins. Gaetz's nomination follows a controversial period, including a past investigation by the Department of Justice, which was dropped last year. The House Ethics Committee's inquiry will conclude with Gaetz's resignation from Congress. McCaskill emphasized the importance of a thorough background check for Gaetz, noting that it will be more rigorous than typical checks. Some Republican lawmakers have already expressed concerns about his nomination.
