MSNBC’s Psaki: GOP Senators Using ‘Quiet Defiance’ Against Trump Nominees
This is a modal window.
EXCERPT:
PSAKI: “It used to be many years ago that senators would come out and they would just say ‘I’m going to vote for this person’ or ‘I’m not going to vote for this person,’ but now because so many Republican senators especially are concerned about being a target of Trump, all of this is basically quiet defiance. That’s what you saw with Matt Gaetz and I think that’s what you’re seeing right now with Pete Hegseth. What was interesting, I don’t know if you all saw Blumenthal, Senator Blumenthal’s comments yesterday, the senator from Connecticut, a Democrat, who said there are eight to 10 Republicans or five to 10 maybe he said, which is quite a range, who he thinks would oppose Hegseth. And what I expect is going to happen here is that this is going to be quietly a nomination that is killed over the next couple of days.”
