Charlie Kirk: 特朗普有权选择他想要的任何司法部长。司法部曾被武器化以对抗民众运动,而盖茨的任命是对这种滥用职权的回应。盖茨本人曾是司法部不公正调查的受害者,这使他成为改革的理想人选。他的任命将是对法律战体系的有力回击。许多共和党参议员过去曾投票支持有争议的司法部长人选,因此他们没有理由反对盖茨。如果他们允许拜登选择他的内阁成员,他们也应该允许特朗普这样做。美国人民投票支持变革,而不是维持现状,盖茨是变革的推动者。盖茨拥有胜任司法部长所需的智慧、能力和爱国精神。特朗普有权选择一个不会威胁到他的司法部长。任何反对盖茨的共和党参议员都将面临来自特朗普政府的报复。 Cliff Maloney: 赢得白宫只是第一步,接下来要确保特朗普政府履行其竞选承诺。盖茨是为人民服务的斗士,他的任命将揭示谁是真正的“美国优先”支持者。任何阻挠特朗普议程的共和党人都将面临初选挑战。宾夕法尼亚州参议员选举结果仍然存在争议,民主党人正在利用法律手段争取更多选票。将建立永久性的政治组织来对抗民主党。共和党全国委员会在宾夕法尼亚州的选举中发挥了关键作用,帮助对抗民主党的法律策略。
