  What we’re watching

Matt Gaetz’s abrupt withdrawal of his bid to be attorney general on Thursday could be bad news for another one of Trump’s picks: Pete Hegseth. 
Donald Trump spent his presidential campaign running from Project 2025, and now he’s using it to stock his White House and administration by tapping nearly a half-dozen Project 2025 authors and contributors. 

What’s up with the nominees?

In 2016 comments resurfaced by CNN, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — Trump’s pick to lead the Health and Human Services Department — compared Trump to Adolf Hitler and disparaged his supporters on his podcast.

Current and former Defense Department officials are worried about how Pete Hegseth would treat women in the military.
