Trump Signals Possible Cabinet Shake‑up After Midterm Setbacks
In a recent 60 Minutes interview, the former president hinted at changes, fueling concerns among voters about leadership stability.

Critics of the current administration see these hints of turnover as a sign that the party’s leadership may continue to react to electoral defeats, raising questions about continuity and accountability.
