That is a really low bar to reach over.

His predecessor Becerra fully supported the COVID vaccine and is not modest about saying it was a resounding success

Good speech and I think RFK Jr. was an excellent choice.  Trump has put together, an excellent team of people to help his MAGA agenda.  IMHO RFK Jr. is much more conservative and patriotic than people like Mitch McConnell.

I was also happy to see that he has some support from those in his family.

 Senate confirms Howard Lutnick as Commerce secretary
by Sylvan Lane - 02/18/25 6:57 PM ET

The Senate on Wednesday confirmed Howard Lutnick to serve as Commerce secretary, approving a key member of President Trump’s economic team amid rising trade tensions.

Senators voted 51-45 in favor of Lutnick’s confirmation to lead the Commerce Department, which has broad authority over U.S. trade, shipping, infrastructure, telecommunications, environmental monitoring and intellectual property.

Lutnick, the CEO of Wall Street investment firm Cantor Fitzgerald, co-chaired the Trump administration transition process after the president’s stunning reelection. He was widely expected to be confirmed by the GOP-controlled Senate, which advanced his nomination last week by a vote of 52-45.

Lutnick will play a central role in Trump’s trade agenda, as the president threatens tariffs against a wide range of trading partners, including key allies such as Canada and Mexico.

Patel getting that 50th vote will be like the first soldier hitting the beach at Normandy. 

All the corruption that Musk has uncovered, now will have a Pit Bull to hold those to account.   Think I will be buy some stock in contractors who specialize in building or expanding white collar prisons.   :cool:

JD addressed CPAC this morning, so he's back from Europe.
