Sen. Rand Paul promises Trump’s candidacy

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., on Sunday said he “could not be happy” with the President’s nominees for Trump’s Cabinet, and said he would work to push them out as soon as possible.

When Paul was asked during an appearance on “Sunday Morning Futures” if he would support all of Trump’s choices in his inner circle, the senator replied, “I couldn’t have picked a better one.”

“I will support the majority on the first day,” said the senator. “We’re going to try to get Kristi Noem through the Department of Homeland Security, Russ Vought for [Office of Management and Budget]. … I think in the first week you’ll have half a dozen approved in the first week.”

Paul said he will control a single executive committee to confirm the nominees, adding, “I promise to get rid of them as soon as possible.”
