Trump faces challenges in confirming loyalist nominees amid misconduct allegations

Donald Trump has appointed loyalists to key administration roles, despite some facing misconduct allegations and lacking experience. His choice for attorney general, Matt Gaetz, withdrew amid concerns from lawmakers about his qualifications and past accusations. Trump's next nominee, Pete Hegseth for Pentagon chief, is also under scrutiny due to a sexual assault allegation. Other nominees, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for health secretary, face their own controversies, raising questions about their confirmations. Republican senators are divided on how to handle these nominations. Some believe each nominee will be evaluated individually, while others suggest that the controversies surrounding Gaetz could impact Trump's future picks.
