Democratic Senate candidate Greg Orman said that he would allow the president to choose whomever he "feels he needs to pick" to serve in cabinet positions.
"At the end of the day, we sort of let to need chief executives, whether they are Republicans or Democrats, pick the team that they feel like they need to pick to run various cabinet agencies," Orman said during a Kansas Senate debate with incumbent Pat Roberts (R., Kan.) on Wednesday.
Despite campaigning as an independent, Orman recently declared that he would caucus with whichever party has the majority in the Senate after the November elections. He also added that he could "absolutely" switch sides.
Orman has received backing from the Democratic Party and shamelessly dodged a question on Obamacare from a constituent during a parade in Overland Park, Kan., in September.
