Republican Senators Express Confidence in Pete Hegseth Ahead of ConfirmationKristina Wong 2 Dec 2024
A group of Republican senators who will be responsible for confirming Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth expressed confidence in him after meeting with him on Monday.
Hegseth, accompanied by his wife, met with about a dozen senators at the Capitol, including Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Mike Lee (R-UT), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Rick Scott (R-FL), Dan Sullivan (R-AK), and Tommy Tuberville (R-NC).
They issued their full support of him despite a string of hit pieces by the corporate media centering on allegations from about a decade ago.
Blackburn posted on X:
Pete Hegseth is an outstanding choice for Secretary of Defense.
I am confident he will bolster our military and make an excellent addition to the Trump administration.
