President-elect Donald Trump has made significant Cabinet picks, nominating Matt Gaetz for Attorney General and Marco Rubio for Secretary of State. Trump also selected Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence, who will oversee America's 17 intelligence agencies. Gaetz's nomination has sparked controversy and surprise, even among Republicans. Speaker Johnson revealed that Trump informed him of Gaetz's nomination in advance, and Gaetz has since resigned his House seat to prepare for the confirmation process. Gaetz faces a contentious confirmation battle, with only a 44% chance of being confirmed according to Kalshi.
