Long speculated as a potential GOP holdout, Sen. John Curtis said Wednesday that he supports Donald Trump's embattled defense secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth.

Senators argued that Pete Hegseth does not have the management experience to lead the military's 3.4 million service members and civilians.

The nominee for Secretary of Defense wore his patriotism on his sleeve during his confirmation hearing — and his belt, his socks, and his pocket square.

The Oklahoma Republican tried to defend Hegseth against allegations of sexual misconduct and alcohol abuse. It didn't go especially well.

At Pete Hegseth's confirmation hearing, Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin used his seven minutes to defend Hegseth against allegations of past misdeeds and questioned his critics' objections to his qualifications.

THE SENATE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE is scheduled to hold a hearing for Pete Hegseth, President-elect Trump’s choice for secretary of defense, on January 14. There are few positions as important as the one Hegseth seeks.

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.

Mississippi, Armed Services Chair, said Pete Hegseth "helped himself immensely" after the contentious hearing.

Young's announcement, shared with Politico, comes a day after Hegseth's confirmation hearing in the U.S. Senate.

Senator Markwayne Mullin was grilled on CNN over remarks that lawmakers turn up to vote drunk as he tried to defend Pete Hegseth.
