Donald Trump, please get rid of Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard from your cabinet

The president-elect sees his thumping victory in both the Electoral College and popular vote as a mandate to reverse the disastrous four years of the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration.

He should consider how the needless battles of today can impact him and his legacy.

While most of the Cabinet picks have been excellent, we plead that he rethinks them.

Neither Gabbard nor Gaetz are singular figures for what Trump wants to accomplish, says Julian Zelizer .

Zelizer: If time is of the essence, why waste time with this? The Senate is ready and willing to quickly confirm almost every member of the Cabinet , he says.

If Gaetz is truly loyal to the prez-elect and his agenda, he would pull out of the process himself.
