How do you feel about Scott Bessent confirmation?

Scott Bessent was confirmed for Secretary of Treasury position on Januray 27th, by the Senate voting 68-29. Before he was an investor and hedge fund manager, most notably at Soros Fund Management.

Bessent is openly gay, and, as a member of Trump's cabinet, he is to become the highest ranked member of LGBT community in USA's history.

Considering he's Treasure Secretary and not Chairperson of the Federal Reserve, I am not too concerned. Being head of the Fed has a lot more power in affecting the economy. When was the last time you heard a news article about something the Treasury Secretary did?

This must be misinformation... a bipartisan vote in the US senate? No way that happened! lol But if true its a good thing he is not Trans...

Rubio was confirmed 99-0. Only Hegseth's nomination was not bipartisan.

I don't know anything about the man.

I don't care who he sleeps with. I'm very skeptical about anyone who has a history with George Soros and Al Gore, even if they split ways 20 years ago.

He clearly knows a lot more about the economy and finance than anyone in the Senate chamber and his predecessor though, so that's a plus I guess.

Imagine having a Treasury Secretary that actually knows anything about money and how the American economy works.
