President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet nominees are currently undergoing a rigorous vetting process in the Senate, with several key figures making rounds to secure confirmations. Scott Bessent, Trump’s pick for Treasury Secretary, is actively meeting with Republican senators to garner support for his nomination. Meanwhile, Kash Patel, nominated for a significant role at the FBI, has received endorsements from GOP senators who advocate for a 'de-politicized' FBI. However, his nomination has sparked concerns over potential retribution against the media. Amid these developments, the Senate Banking Committee is also scheduled to vote on Caroline Crenshaw’s re-confirmation to the SEC, amidst a broader push for regulatory clarity in the industry. The process highlights the GOP's struggle to balance loyalty to Trump with the need to check his more controversial ideas.
