The battle over President-elect Donald J. Trump's cabinet choices is set to escalate, with Senate confirmation hearings for over a dozen nominees scheduled this week.
Senate Republicans are under pressure to advance Trump's picks quickly, particularly for critical positions like national security, amidst scrutiny and potential contention.
Despite intense scrutiny faced by nominees such as Pete Hegseth, Trump insists on a united Republican front to expedite the confirmation process in his administration’s early days.
Democrats are expected to challenge several nominees, and if they attempt to prolong confirmations, Republicans are prepared to work tirelessly to ensure appointments proceed swiftly.
