Trump challenges Congress with controversial Cabinet nominations after election win

President-elect Donald Trump, following a significant election win, is challenging Congress, particularly the Senate, to support his controversial Cabinet nominations. This marks a shift from his first term, as Congress has fewer critics of Trump now. Trump's nominees, including Matt Gaetz for attorney general, face scrutiny due to ongoing ethics investigations. Some Republicans support Gaetz, while others express concern over the lack of traditional vetting for nominees, complicating the confirmation process. Trump has suggested using recess appointments to bypass Senate votes, raising alarms about Congress's role. As Trump prepares to issue executive orders on his first day, tensions between the White House and Congress are expected to intensify.
