Trump plans unusual strategy to get his dream-team into White House positions
Former president seeks ways to place his chosen candidates into administration roles without standard Senate approval. His list includes some unexpected names that might raise eyebrows in Washington
Donald Trump looks for work-arounds in his potential future admin setup‚ pushing for non-standard ways to get his picks into key spots (a move that might shake-up DCʼs usual way of doing things)
The ex-president whose running for 24ʼ election wants to skip the normal Senate check-process: hes asking GOP senators to take extra-long breaks which would let him use special recess-appointments. This move could help dodge the regular confirmation steps that most high-level picks need to go through
His short-list includes some head-turning names — former Florida rep Matt Gaetz and one-time white house hopeful Robert F Kennedy Jr are among those being talked about for top-spots. The whole thing shows how Trump might try to fast-track his chosen team into place; using little-known rules about Senate down-time to make it happen
The strategy relies on an old-school political trick: if senators arent in town they cant vote on nominees which opens up a side-door for putting people in positions without the usual back-and-forth that comes with getting Senate ok
