Former Obama strategist David Axelrod says some of President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet picks may get confirmed with the help of " Democratic defections" in the Senate .

Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman could be among the Democrats who help Trump 's picks secure the simple majority needed for confirmation.

Former Fox News host Pete Hegseth is one of Trump 's most contentious Cabinet picks.

The suggestion follows the senator breaking ranks with progressives on issues such as Israel and immigration.
