Trump picks Florida's Matt Gaetz for top justice post, raising eyebrows in DC
Trump nominated ex-Florida congressman **Matt Gaetz** as his pick for Attorney General‚ showing a shift towards non-traditional cabinet choices. The bold move faces uncertain Senate confirmation path ahead
In a head-turning move this mid-week Donald Trump picked Matt Gaetz‚ the ex-Florida representative‚ as his choice for Attorney General — making it his most debated cabinet pick so far
The nomination of Gaetz (who left his House seat last year) shows Trumps new way of picking top officials: he wants people who will shake things up rather than those with traditional legal backgrounds. Its clear that experience and staying neutral — things that AG picks usually need — dont matter as much this time around
The road ahead looks pretty rough for the former congressman: getting enough votes in the Senate isnt a sure thing. The pick reflects a bigger change in how Trump thinks about presidential power; hes looking for folks whoʼll support his goals instead of running things the old-fashioned way. Some experts say this could make the confirmation process extra-tricky: theres already talk about whether Gaetz can get the needed yes-votes to take Americas top legal job
