On Thursday night, Fox News host Sean Hannity aired part two of his exclusive interview with Vice President JD Vance. The two discussed DOGE, the Cabinet confirmation process, and more.
Vance said he ultimately believes that RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel will make it through the confirmation process, but Republicans will “have to fight for each one.”
Vance stressed that the president should have the administration he wants.
“…The president has made his selections and the advice and consent power of the United States Senate should not be used to block people because you have one policy disagreement on one issue,” Vance told Hannity Thursday. “You don’t get to make these decisions. President Trump gets to make these decisions, and he already has.”
“Donald Trump won an imposing mandate because he got a different group of people to vote Republican than had ever voted Republican. We have to give those parts of the coalition some wins, too. So, yes, we’ve got a lot of traditional Republicans in the administration. We’ve got a lot of traditional national security hawks in the administration. But we’ve also got some new people, some people who bring a fresh perspective,” said Vance.
As of Thursday, Trump has eight members of his Cabinet confirmed so far: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum.
