More than half of Senate Republicans privately express that they do not see a path for former Rep. Matt Gaetz to be confirmed as Attorney General. Reports from NBC News and other sources indicate that senior leadership within the Senate GOP shares this sentiment, with as many as 30 'no' votes reportedly opposed to his confirmation. Despite this, the Trump team remains confident that Gaetz will eventually be confirmed, even if the process becomes contentious. Senators reportedly want to see the House Ethics investigation resolved before moving forward.
