Is Cash Patel's confirmation as FBI director essentially a done deal?

According to CBS News congressional correspondent Kaitlyn Huey Burns, Patel's confirmation is basically a done deal. Despite facing scrutiny from Democrats, Patel has secured support from Republicans in the Senate, making his confirmation virtually certain following a procedural vote. This reflects President Trump's successful effort to install loyalists in key positions within law enforcement and justice departments. The confirmation highlights the shifting political dynamics on Capitol Hill, with Republican backing proving sufficient to advance controversial nominations despite Democratic opposition.
