President-elect Donald Trump plans to send the Senate a slate of unconventional nominees for executive branch positions.

The Senate will be split 53 Republicans to 47 Democrats, requiring some bipartisan support for confirmations if more than three Republican senators oppose a nominee.

Trump's choice of Matt Gaetz for attorney general was effectively sunk due to allegations of sexual misconduct and concerns about his qualifications.

Key Republican senators like Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Mitch McConnell may play significant roles in the confirmation process, with some expressing opposition to certain nominees.

Sen. John Fetterman, a Democrat, has shown willingness to support some of Trump's Cabinet picks, indicating potential bipartisan dynamics in the confirmation process.
