WASHINGTON — Texas’ two senators plan to support President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks, including some of his most controversial choices, and are urging their peers not to delay the confirmation process.
“My attitude, about nominations generally, is that President Trump won this election decisively,” Sen. John Cornyn said Thursday after a meeting with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s pick for Health and Human Services secretary. “He's entitled to his team because that's the team that will help him follow through on the promises that he made on the campaign trail, and then those people will then be accountable to him to accomplish the goals that he has set out for them.”
