Not all Republicans are on board with the former Democratic congresswoman as she prepares for her confirmation hearing, Eric Garcia reports
Four of his appointees have officially been confirmed by the Senate, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Director John Ratcliffe of the CIA, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth (whose final vote was particularly fraught).
McConnell’s vote against Hegseth was no profile in courage, but let’s hope he has the backbone to also oppose Robert Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard.
