MAGA loyalists take aim at GOP senator as key Trump defense post goes unmanned: 'Why the opposition?'
Fox News
Sen. Tom Cotton is reportedly hesitant on whether to confirm a key Trump Defense nominee, Elbridge Colby, over his stance on a nuclear Iran, sources familiar told Fox News Digital.
"Senator Cotton is focused on ensuring all defense nominees commit to supporting President Trump’s position that Iran must not have a nuclear weapon, and Cotton will be addressing this in meetings and hearings with the nominees," a source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital. Aubrie Spady is a Writer for Fox News Digital.
Colby has previously suggested that the U.S. living with a nuclear Iran is more plausible than countering the country's nuclear assets, a position that reportedly is causing concern from the key Senator whose support could determine his confirmation.
