Overview
President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary is in jeopardy as at least six GOP senators express reluctance to support him amid serious allegations, including sexual misconduct and financial improprieties. Hegseth has spent two days meeting with Republican senators in an attempt to secure his position. Concurrently, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has emerged as a potential replacement. Trump remains supportive of Hegseth, yet the controversies surrounding his past conduct and alleged alcohol misuse at work raise significant concerns about his confirmation.
