Vice President-elect JD Vance is spearheading efforts to bring some of Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks to Capitol Hill this week for crucial meetings with key Republican senators involved in their confirmation process. Vance is expected to participate in select meetings, including those with former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, Trump’s nominee for attorney general, and former Fox News host Pete Hegseth, who is set to lead the Department of Defense.
Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana, a Republican member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has confirmed plans to meet with Gaetz and Vance on Wednesday. Additionally, New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, Trump’s choice for ambassador to the United Nations, and former Rep. Doug Collins, selected for Secretary of Veterans Affairs, will also engage in discussions with senators this week.
