“President-elect Trump has been dipping into the ranks of current and former House members to fill out his administration at a historic rate,” Axios reports.
“It’s no coincidence that Trump prefers the lower chamber to the more detached and regal Senate — where even now members are flexing their independence from the incoming president.”
“House members, by contrast, have to run for reelection every two years and are typically more in touch with the fanatically pro-Trump GOP base.”
