More than half of Senate Republicans, including some in senior leadership positions, privately say they don’t see a path for the former Florida representative, according to a number of Republican sources.

Summary

Senate Republicans are largely opposed to confirming Matt Gaetz as attorney general, with more than 30 reportedly considering him unqualified.

Gaetz, nominated by President-elect Trump, faces resistance due to past controversies, including a DOJ investigation into alleged sex trafficking, which he denies.

Senators are calling for the release of a House Ethics Committee report on Gaetz, which may include allegations of misconduct.

Trump’s team remains confident despite concerns over Gaetz’s confirmation prospects. Some Republicans warn against a recess appointment, fearing it would weaken the Cabinet’s credibility.

    I don’t have a good answer…

    Maybe tell them not to trust anyone or anything. Make connections with people and maybe trust them. Any organization with power can be corrupted. It is a harsh reality, but people blame women for being raped. I talked to people (women) I worked with about women coming out with allegations too late. Women attack other women for waiting too long before reporting being a victim.

    Idk how to fix it. It’s just fucked. And yes some women lie and ruin innocent men’s life. It doesn’t mean we should never believe women. How do we make the individual safe while teaching them to interact with people that might have bad intentions?
