Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., on Sunday said he “couldn\u2019t be happier” with President-elect Trump\u2019s<\/a> Cabinet nominees, saying he will work to push them through as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

When Paul was asked during an appearance on “Sunday Morning Futures” whether he would support all of Trump\u2019s picks for his inner circle,<\/a> the senator responded, “I couldn’t have picked better.”<\/p>\n

Paul said that he will control one committee in charge of confirming the nominees, adding, “I pledge to get them through as quickly as possible.”<\/p>\n
