Terrorist Attacks Underscore Urgency in Confirming Trump team Nominees
BRIETBART
The importance of swiftly confirming President-elect Donald Trump’s national security nominees has taken on a new gravity in the aftermath of terrorism on New Year’s Day.
The attack in New Orleans, Louisiana, which authorities are investigating as an act of terrorism and say was carried out by Shamsud-Din Jabbar, killed 14 and injured dozens more. The Cybertruck explosion outside of Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, killed one – Matthew Livelsberger, the man accused of renting the Cybertruck – and injured seven more. The New Year’s Day attacks, which authorities currently say appear unrelated, come just before the confirmation process commences for Trump’s cabinet picks and the transition of power on January 20.

Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL), Trump’s nominee for National Security Adviser, emphasized the national security need for timely confirmations during an appearance on Fox News’s Fox and Friends Thursday.

“This is why getting President Trump’s cabinet in is so important. We need Governor Noem at DHS [Department of Homeland Security], we need Kash Patel at FBI, we need Pete Hegseth at DOD [Department of Defense],” he said.
Waltz said these and other critical cabinet nominees must “be in place day one… because this is a moment in transition of vulnerability.”
Similarly, incoming Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso (R-WY) is calling for a swift confirmation process in the aftermath of the New Year’s Day attacks.
“The U.S. Senate must confirm President Trump’s national security team as soon as possible. Lives depend on it,” Barrasso wrote in a post on X

Several other senators and Sen-elect Bernie Moreno (R-OH) also underscored the importance of getting Trump’s national security team in place.
“After what appears to potentially be an ISIS inspired terrorist attack last night in New Orleans, it’s even more vital that we quickly confirm all of President Trump’s nominees,” Moreno wrote in a post on X. “Every single national security nominee should be confirmed & ready to protect America by January 20th.”
