President-elect Trump's team is confident that Senate Republicans will approve his cabinet selection, even as some of the picks have raised concerns among both Republicans and Democrats.
A Trump transition official expressed confidence in Senate Republicans, stating that President Trump believes they will uphold the will of the American people by confirming his cabinet nominees.
The official highlighted Vice President-elect Vance's proactive approach in advancing the nominations swiftly.
Trump's administration is announcing nominees at a faster pace compared to his first term, emphasizing his commitment to prioritizing America's interests.
According to a transition spokeswoman, Trump's cabinet selections align with his promise to prioritize America's well-being and bring about positive change.

Meetings between Gaetz and senators have been described as productive, with the nominee listening to feedback and looking forward to further discussions.
As the confirmation process unfolds, Gaetz remains focused on engaging with senators and addressing any reservations they may have.
