Overview
As confirmation hearings for President-elect Trump's cabinet nominations approach, Defense pick Pete Hegseth is gaining some GOP support despite facing serious allegations. Senate Republicans, including Joni Ernst and Lindsey Graham, show cautious optimism after meetings with Hegseth. Trump publicly backs Hegseth, and a conservative group has launched ads to bolster his confirmation efforts. Meanwhile, Hegseth's history of controversial remarks about women in combat roles remains a focal point among key moderate senators, as the pressure builds on Republicans to unify behind Trump's nominees.
