In a recent post on Truth Social, Trump expressed confidence in Hegseth’s performance, stating that the support for him is substantial and unwavering.
Trump also forecasted that Hegseth will prove to be a dynamic Secretary of Defense, showcasing leadership through charisma and competence.
He wrapped up his remarks by commending Hegseth’s success, asserting that his status as a winner is unchangeable.
Returning to Capitol Hill on Thursday, Hegseth engaged with senators who are evaluating his nomination.
“In my view, Pete Hegseth made significant strides today in securing my full endorsement,” remarked Senator Mike Rounds (R-S.D.). “However, I expect him to be ready to address the various questions openly, and that was my suggestion to him: come prepared and answer the inquiries effectively.”
While some Republican senators seem uncertain about Hegseth, the veteran candidate insisted that he will persist in his pursuit of the nomination as long as Trump continues to support him.
