A majority of Senate Republicans doubt Matt Gaetz will be confirmed as attorney general, sources say
More than half of Senate Republicans, including some in senior leadership positions, privately say they don’t see a path for former Rep.
Why the Senate Will Absolutely Confirm Matt Gaetz
A year ago, the very same Mullin told CNN that as far as Gaetz was concerned, “we had all seen the videos he was showing on the House floor … of the girls that he had slept with. He’d brag about how he would crush ED medicine and chase it with an energy drink so he could go all night.”

Will Matt Gaetz pass the Senate nomination process? He may not need to
