 Cabinet shakeups give Democrats a chance to block Trump picks

The White House faces an uphill battle getting nominees Pompeo and Haspel confirmed ahead of the midterm elections.

By MATTHEW NUSSBAUM and BURGESS EVERETT

The White House was hoping for a smooth 2018 on Capitol Hill. Instead, President Donald Trump is staring at two bitter confirmation fights — and the possibility emboldened Democrats could block his new Cabinet nominees.

Trump’s decision to nominate CIA Director Mike Pompeo to replace Rex Tillerson at the State Department — and to elevate Pompeo’s controversial deputy Gina Haspel, who hasn’t previously been confirmed — has created a pair of high-stakes battles in the Senate, where the GOP enjoys a threadbare 51-49 advantage.

With Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) opposing both nominees and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) absent while he undergoes treatment for brain cancer, Trump will need Democrats to support his picks.

Every rising sun gives Democrats a chance to block Trump.

It's their own FOS Agenda that keeps tripping them up.

Especially with the daily, breathless, breaking news provided by their media cohorts:
