Senate Democrats are rushing to confirm Biden’s final nominees for federal judge positions before the party loses the chamber majority and Donald Trump returns to office in January. There are currently 45 judicial vacancies, and the Senate has 20 days left in session.

Republican senators signaled Thursday that they plan to closely scrutinize allegations of wrongdoing dogging Trump’s pick to lead the Justice Department.

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.”

Republicans say Gaetz is not ‘a serious’ nominee who doesn’t have the ‘moral authority’ to lead the Department of Justice

Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman, NBC News Legal Correspondent Ken Dilanian, and Palm Beach State Attorney Dave Aronberg join Morning Joe to discuss new reporting on Trump's latest administration picks, pointing to the 'problematic' selection of Matt Gaetz for AG as the most unlikely to be confirmed.

During an appearance on MSNBC on Friday morning, former Rep. Charlie Dent (R-PA) pointed out that Rep. Matt Gaetz's extreme unpopularity within his own party combined with a reported bombshell finding by the House Ethics Committee has likely killed his chances of being Donald Trump's attorney general.

Gaetz will get a chance to make his case for why he should lead the Justice Department, but Republican senators warn he faces an “uphill” path to confirmation.
