Makeup or break week for Trump candidates
By Sahil Kapur and Garrett Hake
This is another important week, as President Donald Trump’s candidates are trying to fill his administration quickly after trying to clench the Senate with as thin margins as possible. Sho.
And the White House is trying to send a clear message to Senator GOP that even one candidate, even one candidate, faces any political results.
The Senate confirmation hearing is scheduled for this week for Trump’s most suffering picks. Robert F. Kennedy Junior Health and Human Service Secretary, Tarcigabard National Intelligence Director, and FBI director Cash patel. All of them are facing rocky roads, and public hearings can be decisive.
Gabard was concerned about past transactions with Syria’s dictatorship Bashar Al Assad, which held a secret meeting in 2017, and a past opposition to the Section 702 of foreign Intelligence. It is widely seen that it is most dangerous. This allows non -US personal monitoring.
“She is a place where the thermal power is changing, and she is the one who has to work the most,” said the White House official. “She needs to emphasize that she knows how important her critical intelligence is. This is a matter of death or death.”
Patel has not been aware of the use of prosecutors to deal with personal dissatisfaction and target Trump critics, and launched by skeptics. But the White House officials sounded more optimistic about his opportunity. “HEGSETH and Kash both worked very hard. They were tough, smart, worked 24 hours a day, what you have to do to succeed.”
Kennedy is facing the opposition to the past support for the right of abortion from the group established by his vice -president Mike Pence. The conservative editorial committee of the Wall Street Journal calls on the GOP Senator to refuse Kennedy, weakens the vaccine, and has been able to “appeal to vaccines and drug manufacturers” and “support Lawyer friends”. I warned.
The three Republican members opposed Hesces were Susan Collins in the main state of the GOP in the blue state, which faced the re -election in 2026. Alaska’s Lisa Murukosuki has been moderately moderate that has overcome issues over the years. Mitch McConel in Kentucky has recently resigned as the longest leader in the House of Representatives, and is expected to retire widely after retirement after retirement after the end of January 2027.
Trump has fewer leverage than these three Senator, and is expected to be a potential wildcard for other candidates to move forward. If their three people unite at some point, assuming that the Democratic members have united, they need the other GOP exile to submerge the candidates. At the moment, there is no obvious candidate for the fourth exile.
GOP’s feud in florida in a hurry along the movement of Trump’s immigration
The Trump administration’s immigration business is increasing in several major cities. GabegutierRez and Nicole Aceved reports report that immigration authorities have arrested nearly 1,200 on Sundays and almost half of the detained people have no criminal history.
Nationwide, Republican leaders are in a hurry alongside Trump. They looked as political winners after they were the center of the party’s message in the previous election. This includes Trump Governor Ron Desantis, calling for a special session of the Florida Congress, and preparing a state to implement the rapid increase in immigration -related administrative orders signed by the President.
However, as Matt Dixon reported from Talahasie, the desire to synchronize with the immigration Trump administration revealed the tension inside the party in the sunshine. The state council and the Senate Republican leaders suddenly finished a special session on Monday morning and immediately called themselves.
This movement has effectively killed the laws that have already been submitted by Desantis allies, and have permitted their own immigration proposals, including a Republican leader in a tricky political position. The plan from the legislative instructor is Wilton Simpson Agricultural, a elected official, who has been running towards the governor in 2026, keeping immigration monitoring agencies away from Dasantis and built a relationship like Desantis in 2026. Move to the committee member.
Movement returns Desantis to the corner. As expected, if the bill of a Republican leader passes, Desantis is a proposal that will sign a bill that effectively knocks his ability to adjust the state of immigration in the state, or suggests strong immigration reform. You need to refuse. support.
The episode also emphasizes that Desantis has no political shaking in the state of the 2024 presidential election.
