Sen. Thune to Newsmax: Compel Nominees to Talk About Cabinet Choices

Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., told Newsmax on Tuesday that it would benefit voters if, after Tuesday night’s debate, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris identified potential Cabinet candidates.

“You can judge people by who they associate with and who they would put in positions of power,” Thune told “The Record With Greta Van Susteren.” “I think the one thing that we know about Kamala Harris is she is an extreme left ideologue. She is a San Francisco liberal, and I would expect her to populate her Cabinet and her administration with people who share those far-left views. And you’re going to get far-left policies, which will be disastrous for this country.”

Thune, the Senate Minority Whip who could be in contention to succeed Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., as the party’s leader in the upper chamber in the next Congress, said compelling the nominees owe it to voters to talk about who they want in their Cabinets.
