Pete Hegseth Gets Massive Confirmation UpdateTrending Politics NewsBy Mark SteffenJanuary 6, 2025After nearly two months of a grueling public battle to become the next U.S. defense secretary, Pete Hegseth has finally received positive news about his fortunes in the U.S. Senate, which is expected to take up a vote on his confirmation as soon as next week.Hegseth, a veteran and former Fox News anchor, has been at the center of a firestorm sparked by anonymous, unproven allegations that he was regularly intoxicated on the job and sexually harassed female coworkers while poorly managing two charity organizations for veterans. He was the second Trump nominee to be called into question following the withdrawal of Matt Gaetz from the U.S. Attorney General post. Hegseth chose to fight the charges, appearing on major conservative news programs to deny the allegations and counter them with affirmations from former service members and even his own mother. The strategy began to deliver results in January when holdout senators like Joni Ernst (R-IA) and John Fetterman (D-PA) began to speak positively about Hegseth. Now, it may have secured a majority for him.On Sunday, CBS News reported that incoming Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) told President-elect Donald Trump he believes Hegseth will have the 51 or more votes necessary to be confirmed in the upper chamber, a remarkable turnaround for the nominee from weeks earlier.(more)https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/new-pete-hegseth-gets-massive-confirmation-update-mstef/
