Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) expressed her shock at Rep. Matt Gaetz's nomination for attorney general, emphasizing the importance of the Senate's advise and consent process. 'I was shocked at the nomination. This is why the Senate's advise and consent process is so important,' Collins stated, further noting that she expects many questions to arise during Gaetz's confirmation hearing.
Sen. Tom Tillis (R-NC) remarked on the challenge ahead in securing enough votes for Gaetz's confirmation, indicating reservations about Gaetz's nomination. 'It's gonna take a lot of work to get to 50 yes votes,' he said. Tillis suggested that the confirmation hearing would be entertaining: 'It will lead to Popcorn-eating confirmation hearing content. I'll give him an honest look.'
John Thune, GOP Senate Leader, underscored the urgency of confirming President Trump’s nominees, emphasizing the need to act swiftly against potential Democratic obstruction. 'We must act quickly and decisively to get the president's nominees in place as soon as possible, and all options are on the table to make that happen, including recess appointments,' Thune stated, expressing determination against Senate Democrats.
