Trump's Treasury Nominee Scott Bessent Meets GOP Senators Amid Party Pressure
Dec 11, 2024, 12:55 PM
Scott Bessent, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Treasury secretary, is actively lobbying for support on Capitol Hill. He has scheduled meetings with several Republican senators, including Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Steve Daines of Montana, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, and Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee. Bessent has already met with Senator Mike Crapo, the top GOP member on the Finance Committee. This effort comes as part of a broader push by Trump and his allies to secure confirmations for his Cabinet picks, employing a confrontational approach and coordinating with external forces to influence Senate Republicans. Meanwhile, the GOP faces internal tests from Trump's nominees, pushing the party's limits as the lame-duck session winds down.
