The U.S. Senate debates the confirmation of Pete Hegseth to become President Donald Trump’s Secretary of Defense on Friday, January 24.
The Senate voted 51-49 on Thursday to invoke cloture on Hegseth’s nomination, moving him closer to a final confirmation vote.
Democrats have been desperately trying to derail Hegseth’s nomination with a series a smears, the latest being accusations by his ex-sister-in-law that the combat veteran abused her sister, which Hegseth’s ex-wife has vehemently denied.
