Joni Ernst was on Fox News this morning and was asked about her meeting with Pete Hegseth over his nomination to be President-elect Trump’s secretary of defense.

She wouldn’t say much and kept it vague. But based on her comments she’s clearly not yet prepared to support Hegseth’s nomination.

Even Bill Hemmer posed that to her, saying it doesn’t yet sound like she’s gotten to a ‘yes’ and suggested she correct him if he’s wrong. She didn’t confirm that, but went on to talk about how the vetting process is crucial to getting the support of some of her colleagues.

I don’t know why she isn’t convinced yet and this won’t go over well with he constituents. Hopefully in the end she will be a ‘yes’ vote because these allegations against him do appear quite false.
