This week on "Face the Nation", As Donald Trump’s second administration begins to take shape, the President-elect’s transition spent the weekend making a flurry of announcements. As the would-be nominees were whisked through Capitol Hill to meet with senators, there's already been one major withdrawal and renewed scrutiny on some of the more controversial national security picks. We talk with two key senators – Republican Rand Paul and Democrat Tammy Duckworth. They'll be questioning the president-elect's choices on health, national security and more. One of Trump's national security advisers from his first term, retired army lieutenant general H.R. McMaster, also weighs in. Plus, as the conflict between Israel, Hamas, and Hezbollah continues raging, when can we expect a ceasefire? We ask Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen, who has called the Biden Administration's handling of Israel a failure of policy. Finally we hear from Representative-elect Sarah McBride on the challenges and opportunities facing her as she prepares to take office as the first openly transgender member of Congress. All that and more on “Face the Nation.”
