Thune suggests recess appointments to expedite Trump's cabinet nominations

Senator John Thune has indicated that recess appointments may be used to expedite President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet nominations. This comes as some nominees face skepticism, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Matt Gaetz, who is under investigation. Despite a Republican majority in the Senate, confirmation of Trump's picks could be challenging. Some GOP senators have expressed concerns about certain nominees, which may lead to delays in the confirmation process. Recess appointments allow the president to bypass Senate confirmation when the Senate is not in session. Trump has suggested this approach to ensure his cabinet is filled quickly, emphasizing the need for immediate appointments.
