Senator Joni Ernst has just announced that she is supporting Pete Hegseth’s nomination for Secretary of Defense after they had another meeting today.

Here’s what she said:

“Pete committed to completing a full audit of the Pentagon and selecting a senior official who will uphold the roles and value of our servicemen and women and who will prioritize and strengthen my work to prevent sexual assault within the ranks.”

“As I support Pete through this process…”

While that’s not as emphatic and clear as I’d like it to be, it does sounds like she’s supporting Hegseth and I’m glad she’s finally seen the light.
