Trump Backs Hegseth for Defense Secretary Despite Senate Concerns
Dec 6, 2024, 02:13 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has reaffirmed his strong support for Pete Hegseth, his embattled nominee for Secretary of Defense, amidst ongoing concerns from senators regarding alleged misconduct. Trump described Hegseth's support as 'strong and deep' and praised his 'military state of mind,' despite reports indicating that Hegseth might not secure the necessary votes for confirmation in the Republican-led Senate next month. Trump's endorsement comes after a critical 48-hour period where Hegseth faced intense scrutiny, and Trump has made it clear that he will not switch candidates, forcing senators to either support Hegseth or openly defy Trump by voting against him.
