November 20, 2024 - We are deeply concerned about the qualifications of some members of the slate of Cabinet nominees announced by President-elect Trump. They include individuals who have aligned themselves with White Christian Nationalists. Individuals who have been credibly accused of sexual assault. Individuals who have trafficked in antisemitic conspiracies. Individuals who have denied the existence of Palestinians. Individuals who by all objective accounts are unqualified for the positions to which they have been nominated.
While presidents may nominate the cabinet members they choose, senators have sworn an oath to the constitution and have a vital responsibility to fulfill their role of providing advice and consent. Senators must give serious consideration to these nominees and whether they are qualified and fit to serve. If not, senators should vote against their confirmation, and oppose any attempt to subvert the confirmation process, for the good of the nation they have sworn to protect.
