Trump's Pentagon Pick Hegseth Faces GOP Resistance and Potential Replacement
President-elect Trump is not actively supporting Pete Hegseth, his nominee for the Department of Defense, as Hegseth faces skepticism from GOP senators. This marks the potential loss of a third nominee for Trump in two weeks. Hegseth's nomination is troubled by his controversial views on women in combat and allegations of sexual misconduct. Despite Hegseth's efforts to gain support, including promises of sobriety and seeking endorsements from House Republicans, his chances remain uncertain as more senators express doubts.
