Trump faces cabinet challenges as attorney general nominee withdraws

President-elect Donald Trump is facing challenges in forming his cabinet as his nominee for attorney general, Matt Gaetz, withdrew due to lack of Senate support amid serious allegations against him. This marks a shift from Trump's earlier strong position after winning the election. Gaetz's withdrawal highlights potential difficulties for Trump in securing Senate confirmations for his cabinet picks. While Trump had previously expressed firm support for Gaetz, the controversy surrounding him proved too contentious for some senators. Additionally, Trump's nominee for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, faces his own allegations but has received endorsements from several Republican senators. The situation reflects ongoing tensions between Trump and Congress as he prepares to take office.
