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 essentially secured. Not a single Republican has expressed opposition to his nomination, despite him being one of President Trump's most controversial nominees. The Republican Party appears energized and galvanized around his selection, with even a Republican senator escorting him at his confirmation hearing. While Mitch McConnell, who has voted against three of the president's nominees, is being monitored, the overall Republican support for Patel remains strong. This widespread backing comes despite Patel's controversial past statements and his openly expressed intentions to implement significant reforms at the FBI.
