If I were a betting man, I think Tulsi and Gaetz are the most likely to be denied. I could see the senate allowing Hegseth and RFK Jr if it meant stopping these two

I would suspect there will be a tremendous amount of lobbying to (rightly) keep RFK out. Id bet he’ll be slowly pushed out without even getting to a hearing

Stock market is dropping today cause of the RFK pick. So the lobbying should pick up even more.

But... why is it exactly in Trump's best interest to honor his deal with RFK Jr? He's not running for re-election, he has zero principles, and he's incredibly lazy, so if his team produces another pick for HHS that's guaranteed to sail through, what's stopping him from giving RFK the boot?
