GOP Senators express doubts about Hegseth’s performance, but Trump remains confident in him


President-elect Donald Trump has expressed strong support for his pick for secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, despite skepticism from some Republican senators over allegations against him. Trump praised Hegseth’s credentials and military background, describing him as a “winner” who will be a “fantastic” leader at the Pentagon. Vice president-elect JD Vance also voiced support for Hegseth, emphasizing his commitment to fighting for U.S. troops.
Some GOP senators, including Joni Ernst, remain undecided on supporting Hegseth due to concerns about allegations of sexual assault, excessive alcohol use, and financial mismanagement. Hegseth has denied the assault allegations and said he would refrain from drinking if confirmed as defense secretary. Trump had considered other candidates for the position, such as Ron DeSantis and Ernst, but ultimately reaffirmed his support for Hegseth.
Hegseth recently addressed the allegations in an interview with Megyn Kelly, where he denied the assault accusation and explained that he settled with the accuser due to his high profile. Despite the controversy surrounding his nomination, Trump has assured Hegseth of his continued support to lead the Pentagon.
