Trump's Defense pick goes on offense as support grows for Hegseth confirmation
Fox News
As President-elect Trump's defense secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth, returns to Capitol Hill to meet with more Republican senators, his once apparently teetering confirmation now seems to be on much firmer ground.
While Hegseth's confirmation is still far from a sure bet, a very public pronouncement of support from Trump, behind-the-scenes efforts by Vice President-elect Sen. JD Vance, and Hegseth's own determination seem to have resuscitated a nomination that appeared to be headed toward life support.
"We look forward to earning these confirmation votes," a confident Hegseth said Monday night in an interview on Fox News' "Hannity."
