President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, has reportedly garnered sufficient support for Senate confirmation.

Hegseth, a decorated Army veteran and former Fox News host, has been a steadfast advocate for strengthening America’s defense capabilities and eliminating progressive policies that have weakened military effectiveness.

However, shortly after his nomination, allegations emerged accusing Hegseth of past misconduct.
