Trump's cabinet picks face backlash from Republicans as political capital dwindles

Donald Trump has made controversial cabinet picks that may alienate centrist Republicans. He nominated former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence and Matt Gaetz as Attorney General, both of whom face significant opposition within the party. Trump also appointed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Kennedy, known for his anti-vaccine stance, has proposed drastic changes that could further divide opinions among Republicans. These selections could jeopardize Trump's political capital, as Senate Republicans may resist confirming nominees with such contentious backgrounds. The situation mirrors past challenges faced by other leaders when pushing unpopular agendas.
