Nikki Haley criticizes Trump's Cabinet nominees as Gaetz withdraws from attorney general role

Former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz has withdrawn as President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, marking a setback for Trump's Cabinet selections. Gaetz faced strong opposition from Senate Republicans and was unlikely to secure the necessary votes. Nikki Haley, Trump's former UN ambassador, criticized two other nominees: Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for health and human services. Haley highlighted Gabbard's controversial foreign policy views and Kennedy's past support for progressive policies. Despite the criticism, another nominee, Pete Hegseth for defense secretary, is gaining support among Republicans. Hegseth has faced allegations of sexual assault but has denied wrongdoing, and some GOP members are willing to overlook these accusations.
