President-elect Donald Trump has announced many of his picks for potential nominees for his Cabinet and other White House administration roles since winning the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election"> 2024 presidential election.</a>
While the picks still have to be officially nominated and approved in many cases, voters were recently asked to share whether they approve or disapprove of his current selections.
What Happened: Trump's announced picks have generated plenty of discussion on social media and across the political spectrum with the announced pick of Matt Gaetz as attorney general eventually saw the former Congressman <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/24/11/42170037/elon-musk-said-matt-gaetz-would-be-hammer-of-justice-as-attorney-general-former-congressman-now-unemployed-sells-cameos-for-500">withdraw his name </a>due to concerns of being a distraction and fears of not getting approval.
A new Morning Consult poll asked voters for their approval ratings on Trump and his picks for the new White House administration.
The <a href="https://pro.morningconsult.com/analysis/rfk-jr-hhs-polling-november-2024">poll </a>found Trump had an approval rating of 53%, down from 54% in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/24/11/42077496/donald-trumps-personnel-picks-new-poll-finds-elon-musk-with-highest-approval-by-voters-matt-gaetz-with-highest-disapproval">the poll published</a> on Nov. 17. Split by political party, Republicans gave Trump a 91% approval rating, down from 93%, Independents gave an approval rating of 44%, down from 46% and Democrats gave an approval rating of 21%, up from 20%.

Ramaswamy had a 39% approval rating, 34% disapproval and 27% said no opinion.

</ul>
Why It's Important: McMahon received a 36% approval and 36% disapproval as the only candidate to not have a higher approval than disapproval.
This could be bad news for the former WWE executive as the last poll saw Gaetz as the only person with a higher disapproval than approval rating at 41% and 34% respectively.
With Gaetz and Musk, who had a disapproval of 40% previously, no longer in the poll, it is Kennedy who has the highest disapproval followed by Oz and McMahon.
The highest approval ratings go to Rubio, Kennedy and Huckabee. The last poll also saw Rubio and Kennedy have the highest approval ratings.
Huckabee again has the highest net approval rating at 13 points, followed by Rubio at 11 points.

Donald Trump's Personnel Picks: Voters Like Huckabee, Rubio Picks, Disapprove Of Kennedy, Oz, McMahon

The NFL and NFL Players Association (NFLPA) have agreed on updates to the league&#8217;s substance abuse policy, making it more lenient toward <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">marijuana use. </a>
These changes include a significant increase in the THC testing threshold and reductions in financial penalties, reflecting a shift in how the league handles cannabis-related issues, NBC Sports <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-takes-another-big-step-toward-legalizing-marijuana-use-by-players">reported.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">New THC Testing Limits</h3>
Players will now face fewer positive tests with the THC threshold rising from 150 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml) to 350 ng/ml. 
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40558915/will-cannabis-be-a-game-changer-for-athletes-nfls-1m-study-suggests-it-could">Will Cannabis Be A Game-Changer For Athletes? NFL&#8217;s $1M Study Suggests It Could</a>
This adjustment, effective immediately, allows for a longer window after marijuana use before players might test positive (It typically takes about a week after regular use to drop below 350 ng/ml.).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Lower Fines For Violations</h3>
The financial penalties for positive tests have been reduced across the board:
<ul>
<li>First Violation: A fine of $15,000 instead of half a game check.</li>
<li>Second Violation: A $20,000 fine replaces a full game check penalty.</li>
<li>Third Violation: Players now face a single-game fine, down from two.</li>
<li>Fourth Violation or More: A two-game fine replaces the previous three-game penalty.</li>
</ul>
Missed tests will also result in lower fines under the revised policy.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Gradual Policy Shifts</h3>
These changes build on the NFL&#8217;s 2020 move to largely eliminate suspensions for marijuana use, making punishment less severe for players. While marijuana use isn't entirely unrestricted, the increase in THC limits and reduction in fines suggest a growing tolerance within the league.
Players must still meet the new THC threshold to avoid penalties, but the policy revisions signal a softer approach to cannabis testing.

The Illinois Supreme Court has decided that the smell of raw cannabis is enough for police to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41537177/research-finds-no-clear-correlation-between-blood-thc-and-driving-skills">search a vehicle. </a>
The ruling, which contrasts with an earlier decision that the smell of burnt cannabis is not enough for a search, has sparked legal and public debate over how cannabis laws are applied in the state, the Chicago Tribune <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/12/05/police-may-search-a-vehicle-based-on-the-smell-of-raw-cannabis-illinois-supreme-court-rules/">reported.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Two Cases, Two Different Outcomes</h3>
The decision stems from a case involving Vincent Molina, a passenger in a car stopped for speeding on I-88 near the Illinois-Iowa border in December 2020.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/40055095/does-cannabis-affect-your-driving-university-of-colorado-researchers-find-out">Does Cannabis Affect Your Driving? University Of Colorado Researchers Find Out</a>
A state trooper claimed to smell cannabis through the open window, prompting a search that uncovered several joints and cannabis stored in a sealed box. While Illinois legalized small amounts of cannabis in 2020, Molina was charged with improper transport for not using an odor-proof container.
Initially, a court ruled the search unjustified. However, an appeals court reversed that decision, leading to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36593012/is-cannabis-odor-sufficient-cause-for-a-legal-vehicle-search-illinois-supreme-court-will-decide">the state Supreme Court's involvement.</a> The court ruled that the smell of raw cannabis strongly suggests a violation of Illinois law, which requires cannabis in vehicles to be stored in an odor-proof container.
In a separate case heard by the court, People v. Ryan Redmond, the justices ruled that the smell of burnt cannabis doesn't justify a vehicle search, as it could simply indicate prior use outside the vehicle.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Confusion Over Legal Standards</h3>
This split in rulings has drawn criticism. Justice Mary K. O'Brien, joined by Chief Justice Mary Jane Theis, dissented in the Molina case. "It makes no sense to treat raw cannabis as more probative when the odor of burnt cannabis may suggest recent use, whereas the odor of raw cannabis does not suggest consumption," O'Brien wrote.
Meanwhile, defense attorney James Mertes, stated: "This means that the privacy rights of motorists in Illinois have been turned over to the police officer's sense of smell," Mertes said. He plans to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Legislative Puzzle</h3>
Adding to the confusion,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/03/31607966/wait-officer-weed-smell-no-longer-cause-for-vehicle-search-in-illinois-as-senate-approves-bill"> Illinois lawmakers previously removed</a> the odor-proof container requirement from the cannabis legalization law but left it in the vehicle code. The state Supreme Court suggested this legal mismatch needs fixing.
"I am discouraged by the Illinois Supreme Court's decision, but I am encouraged to now ask that this matter be decided by the United States Supreme Court," Molina said in a statement.

Police Can Search Cars For Raw Cannabis Smell, Illinois Supreme Court Says

The National Football League is enjoying strong viewership for the 2024 season with some records set on Thanksgiving Day, news that streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) likely welcomes as the company may be nervous after struggles with its<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/42042640/netflix-crash-hits-jake-paul-mike-tyson-fight-can-streaming-platform-handle-christmas-day-nfl-action"> live boxing event.</a>
What Happened: While many people will be opening presents and enjoying time with families on Christmas Day, many will also tune into Netflix for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/38850110/netflix-to-stream-2-nfl-christmas-day-games-analyst-sees-strong-growth-potential">two exclusive NFL games</a>, similar to how they celebrated on Thanksgiving.
Netflix will stream its first-ever live NFL games on Christmas with two key matchups that could once again highlight the streaming giant's growth in sports.
At 1 p.m. ET, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs game will stream on Netflix, followed by the 4:30 p.m. ET matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans.
NFL viewership has been good for the 2024 season, which could be good and bad for Netflix as the company struggled during its recent live boxing event that featured a headline match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.
Netflix reported that over 60 million homes tuned into the boxing event, with a peak of 65 million. That event saw hundreds of thousands of people report issues with the stream and a class action lawsuit filed against the company.
The NFL recently <a href="https://media.nfl.com/news-and-releases/corporate-communications/2024-thanksgiving-day-games-set-viewership-records">reported </a>the three games that aired on Thanksgiving set a new all-time record, with data dating back to 1988. The three games had 141 million viewers, a new record and an average of 34.2 million viewers per game, another record.
The early game between the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears on CBS, a unit of Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>), set a record with 37.5 million viewers, the highest average for the early Thanksgiving Day game.
The midday game between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants on FOX, a unit of Fox Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOX#NASDAQ">FOX</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOXA#NASDAQ">FOXA</a>), averaged 38.8 million viewers, making it the fourth most watched Thanksgiving Day game ever and fifth most watched regular season NFL game ever.

Why It's Important: Thanksgiving Day games have long been highly watched given the event-driven nature of the games on a holiday with people off work and watching games together.
This could be similar on Christmas, which means Netflix could be in store for high viewership for its inaugural NFL games.
For comparison, Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) has the exclusive streaming rights to Thursday Night Football games and is averaging 13.3 million viewers for those games this season, up 8% year-over-year.
Amazon also streamed an exclusive game on Black Friday for the second straight year. The matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs <a href="https://frontofficesports.com/amazons-nfl-black-friday-game-ratings-up-41-from-2023/">averaged </a>13.51 million viewers, up 41% year-over-year.
The high viewership, which is above Amazon's average, came with a close battle and the Chiefs surviving a last-minute push from the Raiders. The Chiefs are the most-watched NFL team this season, having some of the more popular games and the highest average across national television games.
For Netflix the odds are likely stacked for and against the company to have huge viewership, the big question is if the company can handle the demand and show the games without the same troubles it had during the boxing event.
The Chiefs (11-1), Steelers (9-3), Ravens (8-5) and Texans (8-5) are among the best teams in the NFL with each team ranking first or second in their division and all four teams currently in the NFL Playoffs if the season ended today.
The Texans game will also feature a halftime performance from Beyoncé, adding in potential non-football fan viewership on the holiday.
Add it all up and you have two games with top NFL teams, a holiday where people watch sports together, a halftime performance from a global superstar, a game with the top-watched team in the NFL and the potential of Taylor Swift to be present at the Chiefs game and you have must-see television and sports.
NFLX Price Action: Netflix stock closed up 0.75% to $917.87 on Thursday after hitting new all-time highs of $927 during the intraday. Netflix stock is up 96% year-to-date in 2024.

Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVFH#OTCQB">IVFH</a>) ("IVFH" or the "Company"), a national seller of gourmet specialty foods to professional chefs, today announced significant corporate updates, including a planned name change to Harvest Group Holdings, Inc., the stockholder approval of a reverse stock split, and the successful execution of securities purchase agreements (the "SPA") for a private placement (the "Private Placement") to raise $3.25 million in new equity capital.
Strategic Updates in preparation for Nasdaq uplisting
<ul>
<li>Name Change: Over the last year and a half, CEO Bill Bennett and his team have dramatically changed the focus and business model of the Company. These actions have included divesting, inactivating, or shutting down eight previously operating entities within the corporate structure, while simultaneously launching a new large retail business and new customers within its drop ship business. Accordingly, the Company will rebrand as Harvest Group Holdings, Inc. to reflect its growth strategy and new focus. The new name underscores IVFH's commitment to its vision of delivering fresh and artisanal products from as close to the source as possible, while still being a broad enough brand to encompass the many growth opportunities ahead. The Company website, logo, and other Company branding will be updated over the coming weeks after the finalization of the name change.</li>
<li>Reverse Stock Split: The Board and the holders of a majority of the Company's issued and outstanding stock have authorized a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock at a ratio between one-for-three and one-for-seven, which may enable the Company's share price to meet the stock price element of the initial listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq").</li>
<li>Private Placement Financing: Under the SPA, the Company will issue 2,031,250 shares of common stock at $1.60 per share, raising gross proceeds of $3.25 million. The capital raised will be used to enhance working capital and fund general corporate purposes. This modest raise, largely from Company insiders, is intended to help the Company continue to lean into its growth opportunities, and meet the minimum shareholder equity requirements of Nasdaq.</li>
<li>Nasdaq Uplisting: With the above actions, the Company management believes the Company is in a strong position to navigate the uplisting process, which it is kicking off in earnest. Pending all necessary approvals, the Company hopes to complete the uplisting process in the first half of 2025.</li>
