Trump nominee Hegseth advances in Senate test vote despite some Republican opposition

ai generated text

The US Senate has voted to advance the nomination of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, with 51 Republican votes in favor and 49 against. Hegseth, a former Fox News host and military veteran, has faced allegations of sexual assault, excessive alcohol use, and financial mismanagement. Despite these allegations, all but two Republican senators, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, voted to advance his nomination. A vote on his confirmation is expected later this week.

    1. Is this the best man we have to lead the greatest military in the world?

    Susan Collins
    Republican Party
    1. While I appreciate his courageous military service and his ongoing commitment to our servicemembers and their families, I am concerned that he does not have the experience and perspective necessary to succeed in the job.
  3. US
    Lisa Murkowski
    Republican Party
    1. I did not make this decision lightly; I take my constitutional responsibility to provide advice and consent with the utmost seriousness.
    2. These behaviors starkly contrast the values and discipline expected of servicemembers.
    3. After thorough evaluation, I must conclude that I cannot in good conscience support his nomination for Secretary of Defense.
    4. The past behaviors Mr. Hegseth has admitted to, including infidelity on multiple occasions, demonstrate a lack of judgment that is unbecoming of someone who would lead our armed forces.
