Trump considers Gaetz for attorney general despite low confirmation odds

President-elect Donald Trump is still considering former Rep. Matt Gaetz for attorney general, despite significant opposition. Trump has privately acknowledged that Gaetz's chances of confirmation are likely below 50%. Trump is actively reaching out to senators to support Gaetz's nomination. He has not indicated a clear alternative candidate if Gaetz cannot secure the position, although attorney Todd Blanche is mentioned as a potential deputy attorney general.
