McConnell Blocks Recess Appointments for Trump's Cabinet Picks, Including Gaetz and Gabbard
Nov 18, 2024, 01:23 AM
Senator Mitch McConnell has announced that there will be no recess appointments for President-elect Trump's Cabinet picks. This declaration effectively blocks the approval of Trump's Cabinet positions, creating a significant hurdle for the incoming administration. McConnell's statement was made at a Washington gathering, where he emphasized his stance against recess appointments. The announcement has sparked reactions from various political figures, including Rick Scott, who responded by asserting, 'Yes, there will be.' This development indicates potential conflict within the Republican Party regarding the approval process for Trump's Cabinet nominees, including Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard.
