Trump tests loyalty of GOP Senate majority with controversial cabinet picks

Donald Trump has quickly announced his cabinet picks since winning the presidency, aiming to fill his administration with loyalists. His choices include controversial figures, such as Matt Gaetz for attorney general, who faces scrutiny due to past investigations. The Republican Senate, which holds a 53-47 majority, will confirm these nominees. Some GOP senators have expressed concern about Gaetz, with a few indicating they may not support his nomination, which could jeopardize his confirmation. Trump's selections also include Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for health and Tulsi Gabbard for national intelligence, both of whom have faced criticism for their views. Trump is considering using recess appointments to bypass the Senate confirmation process for some positions.
