This person said phrases like \u201cshit show\u201d and \u201cdumpster fire\u201d have been used to describe the process in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p>By any metric, it is unusual for an incoming president to face the withdrawal of a second Cabinet nominee more than a month before he takes office. Trump lost his first Cabinet nominee in February of 2017; Gaetz didn\u2019t even make it to December.<\/p>\n<p>Should Hegseth\u2019s nomination fail, it would add to the disarray enveloping Capitol Hill. Some inside Trump\u2019s orbit and on the Hill are skeptical Hegseth can survive, but the appetite to defend him is stronger so far than it was for Gaetz \u2014 partly because he\u2019s better-liked than the former congressman, partly thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/willcain\/status\/1864128420579340344\" class=\"styles_linkEmbed__SNmaX\" rel=\"no-referrer\">various<\/a> on-the-record <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/jchristenson_\/status\/1864319446535512380\" class=\"styles_linkEmbed__SNmaX\" rel=\"no-referrer\">pushback<\/a> to some recent reporting on him.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s also concern among Trump\u2019s allies that allowing Hegseth to step aside would embolden his GOP skeptics to come after additional nominees as well.<\/p>\n<p>Any further havoc could spill over into legislation, as Republicans plot a challenging 2025 agenda that calls on House and Senate members to coordinate on two separate party-line bills with little room for error. <\/p>\n<p>Senate Republicans pitched a schedule on Tuesday that would start with a border-focused bill early next year, followed by a tax-focused bill later next year. But House members aren\u2019t necessarily agreed on that order, which leaves the next steps up in the air.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think there was any consensus on what the sequencing should be,\u201d said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, the GOP whip during Trump\u2019s first two years as president. \u201cThere\u2019s a more fundamental problem of: How do you get the votes?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.semafor.com\/article\/12\/04\/2024\/trumps-transition-running-into-a-litany-of-early-problems\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Those close to the transition said everything is comparatively more orderly than in 2016, when Trump\u2019s more surprising victory quickly led to turmoil. \u201cThe president is putting forward a highly-respected &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=133675\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8629],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-133675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=133675"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133675\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=133675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=133675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=133675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
