Big media outlets have been claiming for days the three have almost a zero chance of confirmation. Punchbowl News told readers last week Gaetz “can’t get confirmed.”
Greenfield, a Yale-trained lawyer and former speechwriter of President John F. Kennedy informed Politico Magazine readers that history supports the confirmation of Trump’s nominees, who he characterized as “the most unqualified individuals ever to be nominated.”
