Pete Hegseth's Defense Secretary Nomination Gains Momentum Amid Trump's Mandate
Dec 11, 2024, 01:33 PM
Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, is gaining momentum in his bid for confirmation. Despite facing opposition and media scrutiny, Hegseth has garnered support from several senators and key figures within the Republican Party, including an endorsement from Geraldo Rivera. His nomination has been backed by veterans and conservative media outlets, with colleagues from Concerned Veterans for America defending his leadership. Hegseth's plans for the military include focusing on lethality, war fighting, meritocracy, accountability, and readiness, while cleaning out what he describes as 'social justice politically correct garbage.' The Trump administration and its supporters are pushing for Hegseth's confirmation, arguing that Trump should have the right to appoint his chosen cabinet members following his mandate from the election, where he won the popular vote.
