Texas’ senators plan to support Trump’s Cabinet picks

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.”
