JD Vance aids Trump’s cabinet confirmation efforts

After several weeks of working behind closed doors, Vice President-elect JD Vance returned to Capitol Hill this week in a new, more visible role.

He has been helping Donald Trump’s most contentious cabinet picks try to win confirmation in the Senate, where he served for the last two years.

Former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz has withdrawn as President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for Attorney General following scrutiny over a federal sex trafficking investigation.

The Republican’s announcement came one day after meeting with senators to win their support for his confirmation to lead the Justice Department.
