The US Senate will not confirm the candidacy of Matt Goetz, nominated by President-elect Donald Trump for the post of attorney general, former Speaker of the US House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy, whose resignation last year was initiated by Getz.
„Getz is not going to be confirmed, everybody knows that,” McCarthy said. At the same time, he praised Trump's nominees for other top positions, including Sen. Marco Rubio, the nominee for secretary of state.
McCarthy believes the president-elect has learned from his first term in the White House and is better prepared to take on the role of head of state than he was eight years ago. "He has big plans. "I think you're going to be shocked by the first 100 days of his presidency," said the former speaker of the lower house of Congress.
