Trump Faces Scrutiny Over Cabinet Picks and Transition Plans

President-elect Donald Trump has unveiled nearly his entire Cabinet, with several nominees drawing criticism and public opinion remaining divided.

Matt Gaetz withdrew his nomination for attorney general following allegations of sexual misconduct, with Pam Bondi named as his replacement.
Trump's Cabinet selections include controversial figures like Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence and Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary, both facing criticism for past actions and allegations.
A CBS/YouGov poll shows 59% of Americans approve of Trump's transition handling, but 75% want Senate confirmation hearings for nominees rather than recess appointments.
Trump plans to implement sweeping executive actions immediately after taking office, focusing on immigration enforcement and economic policies like broad tariffs.
Public opinion on Trump’s agenda is mixed, with significant support for figures like Marco Rubio for Secretary of State but skepticism surrounding others like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his vaccine skepticism.
