Welcome back to a numbers game with Ryan Grodoski.

So we are headed towards the middle of Trump's first 100 days in office.

It's a big part of his agenda so far has been getting his cabinet confirmed, which is

the very first part of every kind of administration's agenda.

While some of his team like Marco Rubio have sailed through

the confirmation, he was confirmed 99 to 0, some of Team Trump's toughest challenges lay ahead of him

when it comes to confirmation. And that's the confirmation of the former Democrats. That's Robert

F. Kennedy Jr. for the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Tulsi Gabbitt for the director

of national intelligence and Cash Patel for FBI director. I'm not exactly sure if Cash Secretary of Health and Human Services, Tulsi Gabbard for the Director of National Intelligence,

and Cash Patel for FBI director. I'm not exactly sure if Cash was officially a Democrat,

but he got his start in the Obama administration's Justice Department back in 2014. So that's why I'm including him. It looks like that none of these people, despite being former Democrats,

are affiliated with Democratic past administrations,

are going to receive much of any support from Senate Democrats who have given their support

to other ones of Trump's nominees like Senator Rubio. The only remaining Trump pick who

looks like they're going to receive any substantial support from the Democrats is Labor

Secretary Lori Chavez Demir. She was a former congressman from Oregon who actually had a number of

Republicans openly opposing her because she's so pro-union. But back to Patel, Gabbard,

and R.F.K. It looks like all three may get through, but just by the Pete Hegskev margin of 50, 50,

would Pete receive 50 Republican votes?

And then Vice President J.D. Vance cast the tie-breaking vote in his favor.

They all have a bit of controversy in their background.

After 2020, Patel got very close to conspiracy theorists with the 2020 election.
