Republican senators in the U.S. Senate are showing increasing support for President Donald Trump's unconventional choices for key Cabinet positions, signaling a shift in their initial skepticism. Despite concerns over the nominees' backgrounds and views, GOP lawmakers are now aligning with Trump's picks, paving the way for their confirmation.
This week, the Senate is expected to hold floor votes on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for the position of health secretary and Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence. Both nominees, who come from non-traditional Republican circles, have faced scrutiny during the confirmation process but have managed to advance to the full Senate after key committee votes.
