War Against Trump's Unconventional Nominees

There is an ongoing conflict targeting a specific group of Donald Trump's cabinet nominees aimed at fundamentally reforming government agencies. This effort is focused on candidates like Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr., who challenge the status quo and threaten the established political order. In contrast, more traditional nominees, such as Marco Rubio and Elise Stefanik, are broadly accepted by both parties, indicating that the entrenched political establishment has little to fear from them. The resistance to Trump's more disruptive appointees underscores the anxiety of the political elite regarding the president's promise to 'drain the swamp.'
