During his speech, Nickel suggested several Democratic figures who could act as unofficial counterparts to key positions in Trump’s administration:
–Shadow Attorney General: If Trump appoints Matt Gaetz to lead the Department of Justice, incoming Senator Adam Schiff could serve as the shadow Attorney General, standing ready to challenge any efforts to use the DOJ against political opponents.
