Trump nominees: 5 confirmation battles to watch [View all]

(The Hill) The 119th Congress is around the corner and confirmation battles featuring President-elect Trump’s slate of nominees are set to take center stage.

Since Trump’s rapid rollout of choices, two nominees — former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) for attorney general and Chad Chronister to lead the Drug Enforcement Agency — have already withdrawn themselves.

But a number of his remaining picks are controversial, and Republicans are hoping to avoid further errors as the nominees barnstorm Capitol Hill and move closer to their confirmation hearings and potentially hitting the Senate floor.
