Slotkin Warns Against Politicizing the Military

Senator-elect Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) expressed concerns about the potential politicization of the military following President-elect Trump's nomination of former Fox News host Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary. Slotkin criticized the idea of evaluating military generals based on political criteria, warning it could undermine the military's constitutional role. Other Democrats, including Rep. Pat Ryan and Rep. Dan Goldman, have also criticized Hegseth's appointment, citing his lack of qualifications and previous opposition to diversity initiatives in the military.
