GOP Vows All-Night Push to Confirm Cabinet; TikTok Called a Security Threat
Republican leaders promise to work non-stop to approve President-elect's cabinet nominees. The pledge came amid other stark warnings about national security during Sunday's political talk shows. Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso told "Face the Nation" that Republicans are prepared to work "around the clock, through the night, through weekends" to ensure confirmations. In a separate interview on the same program, Democratic Senator Mark Kelly called the popular app TikTok a national security risk. "I know this is controversial. I know folks earn a living on TikTok," Kelly said, but he emphasized the dangers posed by the China-based platform. Also appearing, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich discussed his new PBS documentary, "Coming to America." The film profiles nine immigrants and their impact on U.S. history.
