Trump team rushes key Cabinet picks through Senate meetings this week
Trumpʼs nominees for top government positions start Senate discussions for quick approval process. Vice President-elect Vance leads meetings with defense and justice picks on Capitol Hill
The incoming Trump administration is moving fast to get its key cabinet picks approved. JD Vance‚ the vice president-elect‚ leads the effort to secure confirmations for two major positions: attorney general and defense secretary
This week on Capitol Hill Pete Hegseth (Trumps pick for Pentagon chief) and other nominees will meet with senators — a crucial step towards their confirmation. The meetings are being set-up by former florida representative Matt Gaetz‚ whoʼs working with republican senators to speed-up the process
The administration wants quick approvals‚ but some senators have different ideas: there are signs that not everyone supports these nominations. The team is organizing back-to-back meetings to address any doubts and get support from key GOP members
The fast-paced schedule shows how serious the new administration is about getting its team ready-to-go. Vance is personally over-seeing these high-level introductions (which could decide the future of these nominations); his involvement shows the importance of these positions
