Deep dives

Matt Gaetz Withdraws from Attorney General Nomination

Matt Gaetz has stepped back from his nomination for attorney general amid growing scrutiny and allegations surrounding his conduct. Following a week of intense media attention, it became clear that Gaetz lacked sufficient support from GOP senators, which led to his decision to withdraw. The move is viewed as a relief to many in the Republican Party, helping to avoid a contentious confirmation process that could distract from the incoming administration's agenda. With Gaetz no longer in the running, President-elect Trump is now seeking a new nominee who can garner bipartisan support on Capitol Hill.

BREAKING: President-elect Donald Trump taps former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi for attorney general after Matt Gaetz, the former Republican congressman from Florida, withdrew from consideration. Pete Hegseth, Trump's pick for defense secretary who is also embroiled in controversy, met with senators Thursday to get them on board with his confirmation despite dealing with sexual assault allegations of his own. Eye on America- African Americans make up about 14% of the U.S. population, but only less than 6% of doctors. In hopes of seeing that percentage increase, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg donated $600 million to all four HBCU medical schools.
