Breitbart: Watch Live: Senate Debates Confirmation of Pete Hegseth
The U.S. Senate is set to confirm Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, following a 51-49 vote to invoke cloture on his nomination. Democrats are attempting to block his confirmation with allegations of past abuse, which have been denied by Hegseth's ex-wife.
The Federalist: Sens. Who Confirmed Austin Have No Reason To Oppose Hegseth
Republican Senators Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins oppose the confirmation of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, citing concerns about his fitness for the role. They argue that character and experience are critical, contrasting their stance with their prior support for Biden's Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin.
Critics suggest that Murkowski and Collins are engaging in a partisan strategy rather than genuine concern for national security, especially given their past votes. Hegseth requires the support of three GOP senators to secure confirmation, and their opposition may have lasting implications among Republican voters.
