'Not going according to plan': Trump team reportedly faces urgent 'political challenges'
Raw StoryDonald Trump is marching to the beat of his own drum and throwing off his own team in the process, according to a new report. While some of his transition team put together extensive reviews for potential nominees, Trump is going in another direction, the Washington Post reports. "The transition has properly vetted some potential nominees, but Trump has also been operating off his own script with many of his personnel choices — choosing unvetted candidates and acting outside the transition structure in a way that has immediately created serious political challenges, according to interviews with 18 people involved, most of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak frankly. "Senior transition officials have grown concerned about the confirmation process for both Gaetz and Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee to be defense secretary, four people close to Trump said. But Trump made clear he was not inclined to withdraw either selection, convinced that the incoming Republican-controlled Senate would support them, people close to him said."
