MSNBC analyst delivers bad news to Trump on two of his nominees

Raw Story  

During an appearance on MSNBC on Friday morning, NBC national security expert David Rohde predicted that two of Donald Trump's key cabinet nominees appear to be headed to defeat as GOP senators send signals they're not sold. Speaking with the hosts of "Morning Joe," Rohde stated that DNI nominee Tulsi Gabbard and HHS nominee Robert Kennedy Jr. did damage to their chances during their respective Senate hearings, with Gabbard turning off Republican lawmakers who had been supporting her. After watching clips of the two nominees, along with questioning of FBI director candidate Kash Patel, being grilled by senators, co-host Jonathan Lemire reported on Gabbard's problems, telling his guest, "Some Republicans who maybe went into this hearing inclined to support her, or at least giving her the benefit of the doubt ––maybe not," before pointing out GOP Sens. Adding the Sen. Josh Hawley told reporters, "I'm worried that her nomination may be in jeopardy," Lemire asked, "Tell us particularly on that one, since it's the national security world, tell us what you're hearing about Gabbard and her chances."
