Donald Trump's new administration is taking shape. 

Among a rush of names of Trump appointees and likely Trump aides, there seem to be signs of some headwinds for the President Elect. 

Senator Marco Rubio has been proposed as the Secretary of State, former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has been nominated as the Ambassador to Israel, and Florida congressman Mike Waltz has been confirmed as the next national security advisor.  

US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that cabinet selections are voted on by the Senate, but instead Trump wants to make the selection while the Senate is shut down at the start of next year. 

He says that Trump would be using recess appointments which don’t require Senate approval, running the show unilaterally.
