About this episode
President-elect Donald Trump has rolled out a Cabinet at a pace far more rapid than his first transition, filling positions that will help further his promise to voters. But some of those picks have raised eyebrows, like former Congressman Matt Gaetz for Attorney General and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Secretary of Health & Human Services. Former Senior Advisor to President George W. Bush, Karl Rove describes what the early stages of the transition will tell us about the second Trump Administration. It has been seventeen years since Senate Republicans have elected a new Leader. Senate Majority Whip John Thune (R-SD) will replace Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the longest-serving party Leader in Senate history. Thune defeated Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) and Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) in a closed-door election earlier this week. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram discusses the new leadership and weighs in on the current state of the House of Representatives. Learn more about your ad choices.
