More than half of Senate Republicans are hesitant about confirming President-elect Trump’s pick Matt Gaetz for attorney general due to allegations of sexual misconduct that he denies. They are calling for more information on the matter. Meanwhile, Biden is set to meet with President Xi to discuss US-China relations. Other potential cabinet picks by Trump include Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for the Department of Health, Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence, and Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary. Senate Republicans are also considering voting for a new leader for the first time in 20 years. Trump’s policies on immigration and mass deportations are being questioned, while Biden is preparing for a smooth transfer of power after Harris’ loss to Trump. Additionally, the FBI has foiled an Iranian plan to assassinate President-elect Trump. Overall, there is uncertainty regarding Trump’s cabinet picks and the direction of US politics in the coming years.
