Murkowski Becomes First GOP Senator to Oppose Trump's Defense Nominee Hegseth, Citing 'Significant Concerns'
Jan 23, 2025, 06:39 PM
Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska has announced she will vote against Pete Hegseth's nomination for Secretary of Defense, becoming the first Republican senator to oppose President Donald Trump's pick for the Pentagon. Murkowski cited 'significant concerns' over Hegseth's character and judgment, stating that she 'cannot in good conscience support his nomination.' She emphasized that the leader of the Department of Defense must demonstrate the highest standards of behavior and character expected of all service members. Hegseth can afford to lose only two more Republican votes, as Republicans hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate. Other Republican senators, including Mitch McConnell and Susan Collins, are reportedly considering opposing his nomination, which could potentially force Vice President JD Vance to cast a tie-breaking vote. Despite Murkowski's opposition, GOP leaders remain confident that Hegseth will be confirmed.
