Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
President-elect Donald Trump nominated Gaetz for attorney general on Wednesday, sparking an uproar from centrist Republicans and Democrats alike. Murkowski said she does not think it is a serious nomination.
“I don’t think Lisa Murkowski is a Republican,” Luna said. “When you have Democrats or people that are claiming to be Republicans but vote with Democrats, vote to send money to Ukraine, vote to really impoverish Americans meanwhile they’re becoming multimillionaires in the Senate with their stock portfolios, I don’t take anything that they say seriously.”“Very happy for my friend !” Luna posted on X.
But while Reps. Byron Donalds , Nancy Mace , and Lauren Boebert are praising his nomination, Senate Republicans, who will be the ones voting to confirm or reject Gaetz’s nomination, are less certain of him. Gaetz was formerly part of the House’s most disruptive cohort and helped force former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy out of leadership and, eventually, the chamber.
Other Republican senators are rumored to be against his nomination as well, and Democrats are already united against it. Only four Republicans would have to defect for his confirmation to fail.
