Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : Trump nominated Kennedy to that very post last week.
47% : Some GOP senators have already publicly fretted that Trump is gambling valuable political capital he'll need to push legislation through Congress -- even under unified Republican control -- to get wobbly picks like Gaetz and his pick for director of national intelligence (DNI), Tulsi Gabbard, across the finish line with minimal party defections.
41% : It's an endorsement which pairs him with Lindsey Graham, an establishment conservative-turned-MAGA convert who still more often than not finds himself pushing Trump towards more mainstream picks.
40% : Bessent's connections to Soros, seen as a boogeyman (in no small part due to antisemetic conspiracies) among some in the hyper-MAGA core of the GOP base, have worked against him, as has Lutnick's proximity to Trump as transition chair.
24% : "Bessent and Lutnick have emerged as the two main candidates for the role as Trump has pushed out an increasingly controversial slate of nominees for other Cabinet posts in the past week.
