The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:00pm- Gaetz Nomination Doomed in U.S. Senate? Lindsay Wise, Xavier Martinez, and Siobhan Hughes of The Wall Street Journal write of Donald Trump’s selection of Matt Gaetz to serve as U.S. Attorney General: “Trump can afford to lose the support of no more than three GOP senators on his most contentious picks, assuming all Democrats are opposed, in a chamber that will be split 53-47 in the new Congress. People familiar with discussions among Senate Republicans said that far more than three of them are prepared to vote no if the matter comes to a vote, and some said there was already talk of trying to convince Trump to pull the nominee, or for Gaetz to voluntarily withdraw his name.” You can read the full report here: https://www.wsj.com/opinion/matt-gaetz-attorney-general-nominee-donald-trump-b07d3a4f?mod=opinion_lead_pos2 6:15pm- Doug Collins Nominated for Secretary for Veterans Affairs.

Doug is a Veteran himself, who currently serves our Nation as a Chaplain in the United States Air Force Reserve Command, and fought for our Country in the Iraq War. We must take care of our brave men and women in uniform, and Doug will be a great advocate for our Active Duty Servicemembers, Veterans, and Military Families to ensure they have the support they need.
