Cabinet candidates from US President Donald Trump gained momentum when Robert F Kennedy Jr and Tulsi Gabbard saved a key obstacle in the Senate and confirmed Pam Bondi.
The entire Senate voted for Bondi’s approval as the next US prosecutor to lead the Ministry of Justice.
Kennedy, who was elected as the next US Secretary of Force, was presented by the Senate Finance Committee on a 14-13 vote that was separated along the party lines. Only the Republicans voted for him.
Gabbard decided to serve as director of national intelligence and had a narrow 9-8 vote before the Senate intelligence committee – also along the party lines.
Kennedy and Gabbard, both regarded as controversial selection, are now voting in front of the entire American Senate, directed by Republicans in the 53-47.
Pam Bondi will be the country’s most important law enforcement officer on Tuesday night after the Senate approved him with 54-46 votes.
All Republican Senator voted to confirm Bondi; John Fetterman, Senator Pennsylvania, was the only Democrat to support him. The Senate is currently being controlled by Republicans.
When Trump indicated, he wrote in social media that the woman ends the “militant” of the Ministry of Justice against the Republicans and himself, denied by the Biden White House.
Born in Tampa, Florida, Bondi studied criminal justice at the University of Florida and then graduated from the Stetson College of Law. He was accepted in 1991 to the Florida bar.
A long -standing ally of Trump who criticized the criminal cases against him was chosen as Florida’s first female prosecutor in 2010, dealing with opioid revisions and trafficking.
During the confirmation process, Kennedy was resisted by legislators of both parties because of the skepticism of vaccinations.
Some have also questioned that it has sufficient expertise on matters such as US public health infrastructure and health programs.
However, he insisted that he did not oppose the vaccines -the conspiracy theory -but merely supported the stricter security tests.
Nevertheless, the senators often reset their past comments, including the appearance of the podcast, where he said, “There is no safe and effective vaccination.”
Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent Democrat, praised Kennedy’s “Make America Bome” slogan. But the senator also presented pictures of baby clothes printed with anti -vaccine messages sold by children’s health, which the candidate was leading until recently.
Kennedy replied that the group was no longer supervised.
Although Kennedy’s testimony did not win any democrats on his side last week, he managed to provide critical support for Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy.
Cassidy, the doctor, expressed Trump’s candidate with skepticism, but announced that he would support him after committing “serious commitments” to Kennedy and the White House. This cleans the way of voting the entire Senate.
Kennedy Robert F Kennedy and John F Kennedy’s son of the nephew.
Initially, he swam for the democratic presidential designation in 2024, but later made an independent offer before he missed and approved Trump.
Initially, the US political expert named him an environmental lawyer before he has been criticized by US health care in recent years, including food safety and anti -vaccine representation.
As a health secretary, Kennedy would be responsible for huge agencies such as Disease Control and Prevention Center (CDC), Food and Medicinal Agency (FDA), National Health Institutes (NIH) and Medicare and Medicaid Services Centers. Or
Kennedy suggested that many people working at federal agencies fire it, and Trump said he would give the candidate a wide room for reforming American food and health systems.
Gabbard faced some of the previous contradictory positions, including the decision and defense of former President of Bashar Al-Assad in 2017, as well as an earlier momentum to apologize to Edward Snowden’s National Security Agency.
At one point, both Republican and democratic senators were pushed to classify -e Snowden, who fled to Russia to avoid American law enforcement – as a “traitor”. She refused to respond directly, just saying that she “violated the law”.
He added that he had made “awesome illegal and unconstitutional programs” that led to reforms, but claimed to be trying to block future illegal leaks and disclosures.
Many senators also noted that Gabbard defended Russia’s invasion to Ukraine at the beginning of the war. Democratic Senator Michael Bennet accused Gabbard of agreeing that a “totalitarian state” was justified to turn across Ukraine’s peaceful border. “
Nevertheless, the Republican senators, who were initially skeptical for Gabbard, eventually gathered behind him.
On Monday, Senator Susan Collins, Maine, said Gabbard had dealt with his concerns. The Indian Senator, Todd Young, announced a day later that he would return Gabbard after providing his commitment to “promoting” national security.
Gabbard is a former congressional woman from Hawaii and a military veteran who served in a medical unit in Iraq.
Previously, he was a member of the Democratic Party and supported liberal issues such as government -controlled health care while serving at Congress.
In 2020 he started the democratic presidential nomination and later left and approved Joe Biden.
Gabbard left the Democratic Party in 2022, accusing them of being “militant” led by “cowardly wokeness”. He became independent before he became a Republican in 2024 and supported Trump’s presidential offer.
If the entire Senate confirms it, it will manage more than $ 70 billion ($ 55 billion) budgets and supervises 18 intelligence agencies.
