Cabinet Chat: The Senate Abides
Some Republican senators believe President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks deserve Democratic deference. The problem is, those same senators didn’t really give much to President Joe Biden’s nominees.
“Well they should, but they won’t,” Sen. John Kennedy told NOTUS when asked if Democratic senators should be deferential to Trump’s nominees.
“I don’t think we kicked too hard on President Biden’s nominees,” he added, though he voted against 12 of Biden’s initial picks.
