Pete Hegseth says he had ‘substantive conversation’ with Joni Ernst as Trump signals support
Fox News
President-elect Trump threw his support behind embattled defense secretary pick Pete Hegseth Friday as the nominee continues to meet with Republican senators.
Ernst has not committed to voting for Hegseth.
"Looks like Pete is doing well now," Trump told Kristen Welker on "Meet the Press" Friday. "I mean, people were a little bit concerned. He's a young guy with a tremendous track record, actually. Went to Princeton, went to Harvard. He was a good student at both, but he loves the military. And I think people are starting to see it. So, we'll be working on his nomination along with a lot of others."
