(DCNF)—CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten said Tuesday that all of President Donald Trump’s remaining cabinet picks will probably be confirmed.
Nine of Trump’s cabinet nominees have already been confirmed, while the remainder have yet to face a vote, according to The New York Times. Enten, on “CNN News Central,” noted that even Trump’s “two most controversial picks” — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard — appear on track for confirmation, based on the betting markets.
“[The betting markets] seem to be pretty gosh darn bullish. Their numbers, their chances, have been rising. Tulsi Gabbard, specifically to be the national intel director. She’s up to, get this, a 92% chance. A week ago, she was closer to 52%. But as some Republican senators have come out like Susan Collins, in support of her, her chances have gone through the roof,” Enten said. “Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be the HHS [Health and Human Services] secretary, he’s up to 82%. Again, that is also higher than it was a week ago. At this particular point, the two most controversial picks remaining for Donald Trump seem to see their prospects going through the roof at this hour.”
The Senate Finance Committee advanced Kennedy’s nomination on Tuesday along party lines, with 14 Republicans voting in favor while 13 Democrats opposed him, according to The Hill.
“What about the field? So the remaining picks, ‘chance of Trump’s picks being confirmed.’ The average besides Gabbard and RFK, you can’t really get much higher than 99%. So look, there’s a chance, I guess, you know, a one in 1,000,000, basically, or a one in 100 in this particular case, that one of the remaining picks do not get confirmed,” Enten added. “But the bottom line at this hour is RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard look likely to be confirmed, and the rest of the field looks really, really, really likely to be confirmed.”
The data reporter also pointed out that Trump’s nominees have fared “better than the average” when it comes to receiving Senate confirmation.
“[Former attorney general nominee] Matt Gaetz obviously decided to step aside. And that’s the one so far, the one cabinet pick who was withdrawn or rejected. I looked at all first or of course, the second nonconsecutive term in the case of Trump and compared that to the average presidential first term since 1993, where there were three picks that were either withdrawn or rejected,” he said. “Donald Trump, simply put, is winning on this metric. Only one pick so far has been withdrawn or rejected, and that looks like it’s going to hold through the rest of this. We’ll have to wait and see. But the bottom line is Trump‘s picks have been doing better than the average in terms of getting through the United States Senate. Simply put in a word, he’s winning.”
The Senate voted 59 to 38 on Monday evening to confirm fracking executive Chris Wright as energy secretary. As Wright becomes the president’s ninth cabinet nominee to be confirmed, it places Trump’s nominees on a significantly faster schedule to secure confirmation in comparison to former President Joe Biden’s administration.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
