White House Fears VA Secretary Will Get Denied

Jonathan Swan: “Senior administration officials and senators from both parties on the Veterans Affairs Committee are growing increasingly concerned about Ronny Jackson’s prospects to be confirmed as Trump’s Secretary of Veterans Affairs.”

“In fact, Trump’s chief of staff John Kelly thought it was unwise for Trump to nominate Jackson so quickly without going through all the due diligence that a normal cabinet nomination process would involve. Though since then, I’m told Kelly has aggressively defended Jackson.”
