At just 27, Karoline Leavitt is set to make history as the youngest-ever White House press secretary under Donald Trump&#8216;s next administration.
Trump is betting big on Leavitt, calling her sharp, tough, and a communications powerhouse who&#8217;ll be key in amplifying his &#8220;Make America Great Again&#8221; message from the podium, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgep2lexy4o" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> BBC.
According <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/11/15/karoline-leavitt-press-secretary-trump-00189456" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">to</a> Politico, Leavitt&#8217;s appointment as press secretary is all set, since the staff post does not require Senate confirmation.
A native of New Hampshire, Leavitt&#8217;s career in communications began during her time at Saint Anselm College, where she studied communications and political science. While still in school, she interned at Fox News and in Trump&#8217;s White House press office, which sparked her interest in press relations.

Leavitt joined the Trump administration in 2019 as a presidential speechwriter before transitioning to assistant press secretary, BBC noted. She worked closely with Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany to prepare for high-pressure briefings and advocated against what she saw as biased media coverage.
After leaving the White House, Leavitt served as communications director for Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.). In 2022, she ran for Congress in New Hampshire&#8217;s first district, securing the Republican nomination but ultimately losing in the general election.
In January 2024, Leavitt rejoined Trump&#8217;s campaign for the 2024 presidential election as press secretary.
Now, she is set to take on the iconic role of White House press secretary, following in the footsteps of past Trump administration spokespeople like Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and McEnany.

Leavitt Set To Become Youngest-Ever White House Press Secretary

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban has pledged $1 million to BucketGolf, a firm that sells portable golf courses, despite his well-known distaste for the sport. The offer was made during an episode of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;Shark Tank.&#8221;
What Happened: BucketGolf, a San Francisco-based company run by siblings Tyler and Jenny Simmons, was seeking $1 million for a 10% equity stake. 
The company, which sells a game that mimics golf using foldable buckets as holes, was projected to generate over $12 million in sales in 2024.
According <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/29/mark-cuban-hates-golf-still-offered-bucketgolf-million-dollars-shark-tank.html">to</a> CNBC report, other &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; panelists, including Kevin O&#8217;Leary and Daymond John, also offered $1 million but for larger equity stakes in BucketGolf. However, Cuban countered with a $1 million offer for 15% of the company, which was less equity than his fellow judges demanded.

Initially, the Simmons siblings requested Cuban for 12.5% equity, but he refused. Despite this, Cuban eventually agreed to their terms after fellow judge Lori Greiner did the same. The siblings accepted Cuban&#8217;s offer, citing his sports background as a key factor in their decision.
As of now, it is not clear whether the deal was finalized after the taping. BucketGolf has not responded to CNBC&#8217;s request for comment.

Why It Matters: This investment is noteworthy given Cuban&#8217;s public dislike for golf. His decision to invest in BucketGolf, despite his personal preferences, underscores his belief in the company&#8217;s potential and the innovative nature of its product. 
The Simmons siblings&#8217; decision to accept Cuban&#8217;s offer, despite his initial refusal, also highlights the value they place on his sports industry experience. This move could potentially boost the company&#8217;s profile and growth in the sports entertainment market.

The FBI is investigating a series of offensive and racist text messages targeting various communities across the United States, including African American, Black, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/41868203/trump-made-big-gains-among-latino-working-class-and-younger-voters" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hispanic, and LGBTQIA+ groups</a>, in the wake of the presidential election.
The disturbing messages, which reference the reintroduction of slavery and plantation labor, are now being sent even to include high school students, per a <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/news/press-releases/fbi-statement-regarding-offensive-text-messages" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">statement</a> from the FBI. In some cases, recipients have reported receiving messages about deportation or being selected for re-education camps. Some of the messages have also been sent via email.
While no violent incidents have been reported, the FBI said it is working closely with the Justice Department and other federal authorities to address the issue.

In comments <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/15/homophobic-anti-migrant-texts-election-fbi">to The Guardian</a>, President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s spokesperson Steven Cheung denied any connection between the campaign and the racist text messages.
The NAACP condemned the messages, calling them a disturbing rise in hateful rhetoric from racist groups. NAACP President Derrick Johnson linked the messages to the actions of Trump who, he said, has historically encouraged hate, The Guardian added.
The NAACP emphasized the need to address the growing fear and division caused by such messages.

Bitcoin Hits An All-Time High, But Nvidia Has Outperformed It Dramatically Over The Last Five Years

A Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) investor has demonstrated the potential of long-term investment in digital assets by turning a mere $120 into a staggering $179 million over a 14-year period.
What Happened: A Bitcoin whale moved 2,000 Bitcoin, now worth $179 million, which had been untouched for 14 years.
Blockchain data indicates that the whale received the coins in 2010 when they were valued at just $0.06 each, making the total value of the coins at that time $120.
The investor transferred the Bitcoin to the American crypto exchange, Coinbase, last week, after seeing their holdings appreciate by nearly 150,000,000%. This move is presumed to be a step towards selling the digital asset.

Currently, Bitcoin is valued at $90,476, according to Benzinga data. It reached an all-time high of over $93,000 last week, marking an increase of about $20,000 since Election Day.
Why It Matters: Bitcoin whales, as they are known in the crypto world, are investors who accumulate large amounts of digital coins and hold onto them for years, watching their value increase exponentially. 
Despite short-term volatility, Bitcoin typically appreciates more than most other assets in the long run, yielding substantial returns for those who hold onto it, known as &#8220;HODLers.&#8221;
This story serves as a testament to the potential of long-term investment in digital assets.

Here's How A Bitcoin Whale Nets $179M From A $120 Investment

Billionaire Elon Musk and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy have set their sights on curbing federal expenditure, leveraging the Republican dominance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41082363/heres-how-elon-musk-has-become-a-pro-trump-political-influencer-through-social-media">in both chambers of Congress</a>.
What Happened: According to a report, the duo&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) aims to reduce spending by a whopping $2 trillion. 
The Republican majority in Congress, which allows for budget reconciliation, makes this ambitious target more attainable by sidestepping the usual filibuster rules.
Business Insider reports that <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/why-elon-musk-cutting-federal-spending-could-work-2024-11">the</a> Department of Government Efficiency is not a government entity. Major alterations to the federal budget will likely necessitate legislative intervention. Nevertheless, Musk and Ramaswamy are in a strong position to recommend significant reductions in federal spending.
David Walker, a fiscal watchdog who headed the Government Accountability Office from 1998 to 2008, told the outlet about the limitations on what can and cannot be done, underlining the difficulties previous presidents have encountered in managing federal spending.
&#8220;There are a lot more restrictions on what you can and can&#8217;t do. There&#8217;s a lot of cultural barriers,&#8221; he said. 
The efforts by Musk and Ramaswamy could surpass prior attempts. Any proposals endorsed by Trump would have a higher likelihood of gaining Congressional approval due to Republican control.

Thomas Schatz, the president of Citizens Against Government Waste, believes this government-efficiency initiative &#8220;can be set up faster.&#8221;
Musk has previously expressed his disapproval of the Securities and Exchange Commission and proposed incentives for government employees who demonstrate fiscal prudence. 
Ramaswamy has suggested a thought experiment to downsize the federal workforce. Veronique de Rugy, an economist at the libertarian think tank Mercatus Center, believes that Musk and Ramaswamy could achieve $2 trillion in savings through radical reforms.
Why It Matters: This development is significant in the context of ongoing debates about federal spending and debt. 
The ambitious plan by Musk and Ramaswamy, if successful, could set a precedent for future administrations and potentially reshape the landscape of government spending. 
Their unique approach, coupled with the current political climate, may provide the necessary momentum to drive significant changes in federal expenditure.

Musk And Ramaswamy Seek Spending Cut Wins Where Others Failed

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40972049/dave-ramsey-tells-29-year-old-1m-in-debt-and-spending-like-shes-in-congress-im-getting-ready-to-">Dave Ramsey isn't just any financial guru – </a>he's a powerhouse who reportedly owns $600 million in real estate, all bought in cash. Known for his unfiltered advice to callers, he usually sticks to helping others get their finances straight. But occasionally, he pulls back the curtain and gives a glimpse into the personal strategies that got him where he is.

</ul>
A few years back, in a popular YouTube video, Ramsey's message was loud and clear: "The borrower is a slave to the lender."
In that video, he detailed his investing process, clarifying that debt isn't just a financial burden – it's a roadblock to real wealth. For Ramsey, avoiding debt isn't simply about managing money; it's about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40711869/how-rich-are-you-heres-the-net-worth-that-defines-upper-middle-and-lower-class">taking control of your future</a>.
Ramsey often highlights the power of focusing on "your most powerful wealth-building tool" – your income. He insists that when you keep your earnings out of the hands of lenders, you're free to use them to create long-term wealth. "When you haven't committed your income in the form of payments to everybody else, you can invest it and become wealthy," he says, explaining that a little financial discipline now can lead to significant rewards.

Ramsey shares a striking example: the average car payment in America is around $503. "That's just crazy," he exclaims. If someone instead invested $500 a month from age 30 to 70 in a decent growth stock mutual fund, Ramsey claims they could amass over five million dollars by retirement. "One thing could make you worth five million dollars," he says, emphasizing how small decisions add up over time.

He's also a vocal advocate for investing in good growth stock mutual funds, a strategy he believes is the best path to financial independence. He favors a balanced approach, spreading investments across four types of funds: growth and income, growth, aggressive growth and international funds. This mix, he argues, has a strong track record of outperforming basic index funds. "If the mutual fund you're looking at is below that S&amp;P 500 line, don't buy that fund," he advises.

Ramsey is well aware that his stance sometimes contrasts with other voices in the financial world, especially those promoting index funds and fee-conscious strategies. "Some people are stepping over $5 bills trying to pick up pennies worrying about these fees," he quips, adding that while fees matter, they're not what makes or breaks financial success. To him, the true key is consistency – saving and investing monthly, year after year, no matter what the market is doing. He's clear that "the big thing is actually putting money into the mutual funds, actually investing."
Ramsey's approach also reflects his view on financial independence. For him, paying a broker is worth it to have someone keep you on track. "I need a broker in my life. I need somebody that's an advisor," he says, explaining that, despite knowing a lot about investing, he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-successfully-retire-with-1-million-saved">prefers having a professional's guidance</a> to stay disciplined. Ramsey points out that emotional reactions to market trends often sway people who invest independently. "When you're out there by yourself with all your theories," he says, "you cash out all your mutual funds at exactly the wrong time because you don't have anybody in your corner saying, ‘Don't jump.'"

According to Ramsey, retirement success isn't just about choosing the right investments – it's about regularly investing. He cites research showing that "74% of retirement success is doing it." By steadily contributing to retirement accounts, people can build a significant nest egg without chasing high returns or jumping in and out of the market.
Ramsey's advice is simple: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41385340/dave-ramsey-says-buying-cars-for-your-teenagers-leads-to-a-lifetime-of-ridiculous-expectations-b">stay away from debt</a>, invest consistently and focus on the long term. He believes this advice can help people achieve not only wealth but also peace of mind. "This is how you get wealthy," he says, stressing that the journey isn't about luck or timing; it's about persistence and discipline.

Under the Trump administration, U.S. banks anticipate that restrictions on capital requirements, merger approval timelines and oversight of complex investments will be loosened. Wall Street is already optimistic about this potential wave of deregulation, with American banking giants like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/41852613/jp-morgan-analysts-see-generational-opportunity-in-real-estate-market-as-a-direct-result-of-valuatio">JPMorgan</a>, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley seeing a rise in shares following the election.&nbsp;
This increased flexibility in lending and investments could position U.S. banks to outpace their European counterparts.&nbsp;

European banks, which have long struggled with lower profitability largely due to the 2008 financial crisis, now face further challenges. Lenders in Europe have battled against weak economies, low interest rates and an oversupply of nonperforming loans. While some European banks had started to recover in 2023, the shift in regulations on U.S. banks could have a negative impact.&nbsp;
David Materazzi, CEO of Galileo FX, an Italy-based automated trading platform, believes that U.S. banks will take advantage of the looser regulatory environment. He told Reuters, "If U.S. banks get the expected policy support, they could ramp up loan volumes and optimize capital in ways that Europe's banks just can't match right now."

With American banks likely to experience fewer regulatory barriers, experts believe that European lenders could be pressured to reevaluate their strategies to compete globally. European Union regulations remain strict, with capital requirements and risk assessments that prevent banks from taking on the same level of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/09/40922382/oracle-of-omaha-sends-a-warning-buffetts-aggressive-bank-of-america-stock-sales-raise-eyebrows">aggressive investments</a> seen on Wall Street. These tighter controls are designed to prevent another crisis but also restrict banks&#8217; ability to grow profit margins significantly.
Additionally, the contrasting regulatory paths between the U.S. and Europe could influence how investors view each region's banks. As U.S. banks potentially increase their profits through higher loan volumes and new investments, European banks may look less appealing, especially if they don't see the necessary growth to compete. Analysts suggest this shift could drive investors to favor U.S. financial institutions over European ones, deepening the trans-Atlantic divide.

Promises of a shifting regulatory landscape in the U.S. have prompted leaders in European financial hubs to reassess their own policies. Recently, Swiss Finance Minister Karin Keller-Sutter and her British counterpart Rachel Reeves discussed the potential impact Trump's election could bring on banking regulations.&nbsp;
Keller-Sutter told Reuters that she and Reeves agreed it was important to balance competitiveness with stability.&nbsp;
While European and U.S. banks alike brace for the coming changes, the next few years could redefine the banking landscape across both continents. As U.S. banks potentially take advantage of looser regulations, European lenders may face pressure to innovate or advocate for regulatory flexibility. However, for now, the two continents appear set to diverge on policy and regulators and the global financial community will closely watch the impact of these changes.

As the U.S. retirement market faces unprecedented challenges and opportunities, financial advisors must adapt their approach to better serve clients. 
Recent data from ISS Market Intelligence, as reported by <a href="https://www.planadviser.com/us-retirement-market-evolves-amid-growth-challenges/">Planadviser</a>, reveals several critical areas where advisors need to enhance their service offerings and expertise.
First, advisors must address the growing retirement coverage gap. With approximately one-third of U.S. adults lacking dedicated retirement savings, advisors should actively seek opportunities to partner with small businesses that currently don&#8217;t offer retirement plans. The SECURE 2.0 Act provides new incentives for small business plan adoption, creating an untapped market of roughly 6 million businesses without 401(k) plans.
Advisors need to strengthen their role as educators, particularly regarding Social Security optimization, according to ISS Market Intelligence. With lower-income earners expecting to rely on Social Security for more than 50% of their retirement income, advisors must help clients understand the implications of this dependence and develop strategies to diversify income sources.

The aging workforce presents another critical challenge requiring advisor attention. As Baby Boomers retire, creating net-negative cash flows in defined contribution plans, advisors must develop sophisticated decumulation strategies while encouraging younger generations to increase their retirement savings. 
This includes leveraging automatic features, which are currently underutilized in 63% of retirement plans despite their proven effectiveness in driving asset growth.
Financial literacy advocacy should become a core component of advisor services. With retirement assets now comprising 40% of total family wealth, advisors must ensure clients understand their options and make informed decisions about their retirement planning.
By focusing on these areas, advisors can better serve their clients while contributing to the broader goal of improving retirement security for all Americans.

Rocket Lab And Hut 8 Mining Are Among Top 7 Mid-Cap Gainers Last Week (November 11-15): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Billionaire Elon Musk , a confidante of President-elect Donald Trump, has thrown his support behind Howard Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, for treasury secretary.
What Happened: Musk believes that Lutnick could bring about significant change if chosen for the position. Although Trump has not yet officially named his choice, Lutnick and investor Scott Bessent are said to be the leading candidates.
In a post on X on Saturday, Musk shared his opinion that Bessent would represent a &#8220;business-as-usual choice,&#8221; whereas Lutnick could instigate the change that conservatives are hoping for in Trump&#8217;s second term.
&#8220;Business-as-usual is driving America bankrupt, so we need change one way or another,&#8221; Musk stated.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

My view fwiw is that Bessent is a business-as-usual choice, whereas <a href="https://twitter.com/howardlutnick?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@howardlutnick</a> will actually enact change.

The Treasury Secretary will have a pivotal role in the new administration, given the major economic challenges that played a part in Trump&#8217;s election win.

Despite low unemployment rates and economic growth, many Americans are discontented with high costs and perceived widespread inflation.
Lutnick, who has known Trump for many years, has organized fundraisers for the President-elect and served as a TV surrogate. Conversely, Bessent, the founder of macro hedge fund Key Square Group, was a principal economic advisor to Trump during his campaign.
Why It Matters: The selection of the Treasury Secretary is a critical decision for the incoming administration. The chosen candidate will be tasked with addressing the economic issues that have been a significant factor in Trump&#8217;s election. 
The endorsement from Musk, a prominent figure in the business world, could potentially influence the final decision. 
The contrasting backgrounds of Lutnick and Bessent highlight the different approaches that could be taken to address the economic challenges facing the country.

Christie On Trump's Cannabis Plans, Elon Musk's New Role In Trump Team, Pentagon Overhaul Plans And More: This Week In Politics

In a departure from her family&#8217;s sports-oriented legacy, Taahirah O&#8217;Neal, the eldest daughter of basketball legend Shaquille O&#8217;Neal, has chosen to pursue a different career path and lifestyle.
What Happened: Taahirah O&#8217;Neal has not shown any interest in sports, unlike her siblings Shareef, Shaqir, Me&#8217;arah, and Amirah, who have all followed their father&#8217;s path into basketball. Taahirah has instead chosen a different path.
Earlier this year, Taahirah relocated to Georgia from Texas, where she had been employed as a communications associate analyst for PepsiCo. 
During a recent conversation with her cousin Marcus, she expressed her disinterest in sports, responding to his enthusiasm about a basketball event with indifference.
As reported <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-legends-basketball-news-shaquille-oneals-daughter-with-arnetta-yardbourgh-defies-family-interests-with-truth-about-dads-profession/">by</a> Essentiallysports, Taahirah&#8217;s primary passion lies in nature and running a farm in Georgia, a passion she frequently shares on her Instagram posts.

She has also made it clear that she has no intention of dating athletes, stating, &#8220;No offense to athletes but I was raised by, raised with athletes. It's a no go for me.&#8221;
Earlier this year, during a podcast, she stated, as quoted by the sports outlet, "I have like the utmost respect for athletes. where I am in my life especially growing up the way that I did I don't want that for myself. I need your time. I really don't want to go toe-to-toe with someone's schedule."&nbsp;
Taahirah, a 2019 graduate of Oglethorpe University, has always maintained a strong bond with her mother, Arnetta Yardbourgh, despite her parents&#8217; separation. 
Her father, Shaquille O&#8217;Neal, has also expressed pride in her independence and ambitions.
Why It Matters: Taahirah&#8217;s decision to break away from her family&#8217;s sports legacy is a testament to her individuality and independence. 
Her choice of a different career path, her passion for nature and farming, and her decision not to date athletes, all highlight her determination to forge her own path. 
This story serves as a reminder that even in families with a strong legacy in a particular field, individual members can and do choose their own unique paths.

NBA Legend Shaq's Daughter Breaks Silence On Dad's Career, Defying Family Expectations: 'It's A No Go For Me'

A Goldman Sachs economist has suggested that the US economy could experience accelerated growth with increased use of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs like Ozempic.
What Happened: Jan Hatzius, chief economist at Goldman Sachs, has said that US GDP could potentially grow an additional 1% if 60 million Americans were to use GLP-1 drugs by 2028.
Hatzius pointed out that health-related issues such as obesity often hinder people from participating in the labor force, thereby stunting economic growth, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/us-economy-faster-growth-ozempic-glp-1-weight-loss-drugs-2024-2">reports</a> Business Insider.
He further highlighted that healthcare innovation could significantly reduce the economic costs associated with poor health.
&#8220;Combining current losses in hours worked and labor force participation from sickness and disability, early deaths, and informal caregiving, we estimate that GDP would potentially be over 10% higher if poor health outcomes did not limit labor supply in the US,&#8221; the outlet quoted Hatzius saying.
GLP-1 drugs, including Ozempic and Mounjaro, are manufactured by Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) respectively. These drugs have proven effective in treating type 2 diabetes and obesity, leading to a surge in sales.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39680165/eli-lillys-mounjaro-outpaces-novo-nordisks-ozempic-in-weight-loss-effectiveness-study-shows">Eli Lilly&#8217;s Mounjaro Outpaces Novo Nordisk&#8217;s Ozempic In Weight Loss Effectiveness, Study Shows</a>
Given the U.S. obesity rate of approximately 40%, tens of millions of Americans could be prescribed GLP-1 drugs in the upcoming years. Hatzius believes that this could lead to substantial economic benefits, including increased productivity.
&#8220;The main reason we see meaningful upside from healthcare innovation is that poor health imposes significant economic costs. There are several channels through which poor health weighs on economic activity that could diminish if health outcomes improve,&#8221; Hatzius said.
&#8220;These estimates therefore suggest that obesity-related health complications subtract over 3% from per-capita output, implying an over 1% hit to total output when combined with the over 40% incidence of obesity in the US population,&#8221; he added.
Why It Matters: The increased use of GLP-1 drugs could not only address the health crisis related to obesity but also stimulate economic growth. 
With the U.S. grappling with high obesity rates, the potential for these drugs to improve health outcomes and boost labor force participation could have far-reaching implications for the economy. 
The surge in sales of these drugs also indicates a growing market, which could further contribute to economic growth.

Goldman Sachs Economist: Weight-Loss Drugs Could Be Key To US Economic Growth

Matt Gaetz&#8216;s nomination for attorney general may already be in trouble due to resistance from members of his own party.
What Happened: The Florida Republican&#8217;s nomination by President-elect Donald Trump has sparked concerns among Republican senators due to allegations of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use.
They have backed Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin&#8216;s request for the House Ethics Committee to disclose the results of its investigation into Gaetz, which was terminated by Gaetz&#8217;s resignation from Congress late last week.
Senators Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) have openly expressed their apprehension about Gaetz&#8217;s nomination. If four Republican senators vote against Gaetz, it could potentially derail his nomination.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41997181/kevin-mccarthy-says-matt-gaetz-wont-get-confirmed-by-the-senate-and-everybody-knows-that">Kevin McCarthy Says Matt Gaetz Won&#8217;t Get Confirmed By The Senate And &#8216;Everybody Knows That&#8217;</a>
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) both believe that Gaetz is unlikely to secure the necessary 50 votes to become attorney general.
Why It Matters: Despite the opposition, some believe that Trump&#8217;s nomination of Gaetz could be a strategic move to shift focus away from other contentious nominations. 
These include Pete Hegseth for the Pentagon and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) for director of national intelligence.
Trump&#8217;s controversial nominations have already stirred up discord among Senate Republicans. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) has cautioned his fellow Republicans to back Trump&#8217;s nominees or risk political fallout.
