Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) was enthusiastic for Pete Hegseth’s confirmation vote for secretary of defense, expressing how important it is for Hegseth to be confirmed given the “dangerous” times the United States is facing.

Why should women in our military, if you were the Secretary of Defense, believe that they would have a fair shot and an equal opportunity to rise through the ranks?”

Sen. Joni Ernst said she will vote to confirm Pete Hegseth as the next secretary of defense, making the controversial nominee's path to the helm of the Pentagon more likely.
