Looks Like Trump’s Picks Are Going To Clear The Senate
Well, really, for all the caterwauling and Credentialed Mediaing, the vast majority of GOP Senators were going to back Trump’s picks and protect them. Politico is noticing
Trump’s nominees are suddenly looking safer
A little over a month ago, President-elect Donald Trump’s top nominees appeared to be entering a world of pain.
HHS pick Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was facing tough questions about his stance on the polio vaccine. Would-be director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was in the barrel over her dealings with Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. And top Pentagon nominee Pete Hegseth suffered through mounting questions about his personal and professional life.
They were only in trouble with the Credentialed Media and Democrats, and maybe 2 ultra squishy Republicans
Now, with a whirlwind of confirmation hearings launching on Capitol Hill, Republicans are more confident than ever that they’ve gotten Trump’s personnel blitz back on track — thanks to a combination of hardball politics, appeals to GOP unity and lots of personal charm.
Most Republican senators “are predisposed to let the president have his team absent some extraordinary circumstances,” Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said on Monday.
The biggest question now for Senate Republicans isn’t who they will be able to confirm, it’s how long will it take to confirm them all. GOP leaders are warning senators to prepare for Friday votes or even weekend work in the coming weeks.
The votes will be along party lines for the most part. Collins and Murkowski could get squishy on some of the higher profile. Fetterman could flip on a few or more. Same with Mark Kelly. Otherwise, forget it. Republicans often flip to give a Democrat their picks, Dems won’t do it.
It’s already clear, however, that opposing any Trump nominee would come at a price to any Republican senator. The president-elect’s allies threatened to primary Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) after she indicated that she was undecided on supporting Hegseth; she later offered a more positive assessment. House firebrands have formed a chorus on the party’s right flank pushing Senate Republicans to unite behind all of Trump’s picks and confirm them quickly.
It’s amazing that Republicans always get so squishy while Democrats always rally.
