Trump challenges Congress on Cabinet nominations after election win

clickondetroit.com

President-elect Donald Trump, following a significant election win, is challenging Congress, particularly the Senate, to support his controversial Cabinet nominations. This includes figures like Matt Gaetz and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., raising concerns among lawmakers. Trump's return to power comes with a Republican majority in both chambers, but the dynamics differ from his first term. Congress has fewer critics of Trump, and the Supreme Court has shifted right, complicating potential opposition to his agenda. Senators face pressure to confirm Trump's nominees quickly, despite concerns over their vetting process. Trump has suggested recess appointments, which would bypass traditional Senate approval, further testing Congress's role in governance.
