Patel has been seen as a controversial pick, including because of his reportedly unwavering loyalty to the former and incoming president, and because of his purported ties to QAnon.
Morgan Ortagus, a Trump-endorsed candidate for Congress in Tennessee's fifth congressional election who effectively lost the race in 2022 after being removed from the ballot, posted a photo with Patel Saturday.
