Pete Hegseth Confirmed as Secretary of Defense

The Senate narrowly confirmed Pete Hegseth as the next secretary of defense, approving President Trump's pick to lead the Pentagon after a contentious battle over his nomination. He was sworn in on Saturday morning.

Hegseth's confirmation was a close call, with a 51-50 vote mostly along party lines. Three Republicans broke with their party to oppose his nomination, forcing Vice President JD Vance to cast a tie-breaking vote. At least four Republicans would have had to vote against Hegseth to sink his nomination.

Hegseth's nomination faced allegations of sexual misconduct and financial mismanagement. However, he maintained his innocence and received strong backing from President Trump. After his swearing-in, Hegseth released a message to the troops stating his commitment to "revive the warrior ethos and restore trust in our military."

Hegseth's confirmation was met with mixed reactions. Some Republicans praised his military experience and conservative views, while Democrats expressed concerns about the allegations against him and his lack of experience in government.
