Trump challenges Congress on controversial Cabinet nominations after election victory
President-elect Donald Trump is challenging Congress, particularly the Senate, to support his controversial Cabinet nominations, including Matt Gaetz and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. This comes after a significant Republican victory in the elections, raising questions about dissent within the party. Trump's return to the White House marks a shift in Congress, which has seen the removal of many of his critics. The Senate's Republican majority is smaller than before, complicating the confirmation process for Trump's nominees, especially Gaetz, who faces serious allegations. Trump has suggested that the Senate should bypass its traditional vetting process for his nominees. This has raised concerns among some lawmakers about transparency and accountability in government leadership.
