  • Deflated by the resounding November defeat, the left now believes it can magically rebound by destroying President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet nominees.

The article from RealClearPolitics, titled "What the Trump Nominees Have Not Done -- And Will Not Do," discusses the potential implications of Donald Trump's nominees for various positions if he were to win the 2024 election.
