Time to switch parties. You and Murkowski.

Otherwise, your concern is meaningless.

Her "concern" will evaporate once the time for confirmation voting comes.

It is no secret that most of his fellow Republicans can't stand him as well as considering him a "lightweight". I honestly think this is one nominee who may not be able to get enough Republican support to be confirmed.

No way gaetz can get 51 imo. Either he's setting the stage to try to do recess appointments or he's trying to draw focus to gaetz to get it off hegseth/gabbard.

She will raise concerns.

Next, she will have a meeting with him after which she will announce that he assured her he will do the right things as an AG etc.. , that he alleviated her concerns after a "frank and honest" conversation..
