Live updates: Gingrich, Lawler back Johnson, Kim has concerns about Patel, Hegseth

President-elect Trump’s administration has promised a fresh approach to internet bans, government spending, border security, and immigration policies, warranting each topic to be a top spot on the Republican list of priorities for the 119th Congress. These topics are likely to be the focus of Sunday’s talk shows.

In an interview aired Sunday, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) praised House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for the way he’s handled his role as top Republican in the House.

Sen. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) also signaled an openness to supporting Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) for their respective posts in the forthcoming Trump administration but said he has concerns about Kash Patel and Pete Hegseth.

Republican Gov. Sununu (N.H.) and former Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) are set to appear on NewsNation’s “The Hill Sunday.”

Sununu will also appear on CNN’s “State of the Union” along with Sen. Andy Kim, (D-N.J.).

Outgoing Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) is set to appear on ABC’s “This Week” and may address his concerns with Georgia’s democratic institutions.
