Trump's diverse Cabinet picks spark potential for conflict, says Axios founder

thedailybeast.com — November 25, 2024 at 03:01 PM UTC

Donald Trump has announced a diverse group of Cabinet nominees with differing views on key issues like abortion and the economy. Axios founder Jim VandeHei suggested that Trump enjoys the potential for conflict among his picks, viewing it as a way to maintain control. Former Rep. Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from consideration due to investigations into misconduct. Other nominees, including Pete Hegseth for Defense and Tulsi Gabbard for national intelligence, face criticism regarding their qualifications and views. VandeHei noted that Trump’s approach fosters unpredictability, which he believes gives him an advantage. Five of the nominees are linked to Project 2025, a far-right policy agenda that Trump previously distanced himself from during his campaign.
