Trump Nominates Gaetz and Gabbard for Cabinet Positions

News summary

President-elect Donald Trump has announced controversial nominations for his upcoming administration, selecting former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence and Rep. Matt Gaetz as attorney general. These choices have sparked significant backlash, with critics highlighting Gabbard's previous sympathies toward leaders like Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Russian President Vladimir Putin, along with Gaetz's past legal controversies. The nominations have caused disbelief among Democrats and concern among some Republicans, who question the feasibility of these appointments passing through a Republican-controlled Senate. Trump also nominated Sen. Marco Rubio for secretary of state, a choice expected to face less resistance. The appointments are seen as Trump favoring loyalists over experienced officials, raising concerns about the future direction of U.S. foreign and domestic policy. Senators are skeptical about Gaetz's confirmation, given his contentious background and the need for bipartisan support.
